This research aims to enhance students' achievement on computational thinking skills through mobile application development module. Computational Thinking (CT) skills are a value that plays a role in highlighting the potential of an individual and who has advanced skills often will get more attention and respect than others. The design of this study is quasi-experimental. For this quasi experiment there are two groups of control and treatment. Both groups of respondents consisted of business administration students at one of the universities in Malaysia. The variables involved in this study are that the study groups use different methods of intervention; the treatment group used the module and the control group used the conventional method. Students' achievement in computational thinking skills was identified through the results of the analysis after intervention on 91 respondents. All respondents of this study are students as well as studying same course in University A. Before the post-test was conducted, the respondents involved in the study were tested for the homogeneity to reduce the internal and external threats. CT is a very interesting terminology and gets a good response among researchers. Most researchers have been aware and pay much attention to CT because most industries have started to focus on computational thinking skills as well as future work skills and one of the skills required among graduates is CT. Thus, we developed a mobile application development module to helps undergraduate students to learn and understand the concept of CT in well.
This paper outlines an innovative module for learning computational thinking skills through Mobile Application Development Module (M-CT). We have designed the module where students can not only learn and enhance their CT skills, but stay motivated throughout the learning process. The study involves a group of lecturers from Malaysian institutions of higher learning where their responses will be used in identifying the elements of computational thinking skills and type of native mobile applications that can be incorporated to develop the M-CT module. We set out to evaluate the effectiveness of a M-CT module in achievement, understanding and motivation among undergraduate students on computational thinking skills.
