“…Dalam pembekalan TIK tersebut, harus dicarikan metode yang pas karena waktunya sangat singkat. Pendidikan pemrograman adalah suatu proses pendidikan penting yang memungkinkan pengembangan keterampilan pemecahan masalah dan pemikiran algoritmik anakanak [6]. Mengingat pada jenjang SMA mata pelajaran TIK tentang logika pemrograman, maka tim pengabdi mencarikan metode tentang logika pemrograman berbasis game edukasi [7] [8].…”

Transformasi pendidikan lewat kebijakan merdeka belajar adalah perwujudan demi mewujudkan SDM Unggul Indonesia yang memiliki Profil Pelajar Pancasila. Merdeka belajar ditujukan untuk jenjang pendidikan dasar dan pendidikan menengah seperti SMP/SMA/SMK/Sederajat. Jenjang SMP yang pada kurikulum 2013 tidak ada mata pelajaran TIK, tapi pada saat akan masuk SMA dituntut untuk bisa materi TIK secara dasar. Untuk itu tim pengabdian Udinus menawarkan adanya suatu kerja sama yang intinya memberi pelatihan dan pendampingan kepada siswa â€“ siswa SMP Ibu Kartini belajar materi tentang TIK. Agar materi yang akan diberikan tidak membosankan, maka materi tersebut akan diambil tema game edukasi. Banyak geme edukasi yang tersebar di dunia teknologi saat ini, maka tim pengabdi memilih metode yang sesuai dengan siswa SMP dan bisa menjadi bekal siswa â€“ siswa tersebut dalam menghadapi program merdeka belajar saat SMA nanti. Metode yang akan diambil adalah metode pemahaman logika dalam pemrograman computer yang ada pada game edukasi code.org. Dalam game tersebut siswa bisa mengerjakan 20 game yang tingkat kesulitannya berdasarkan logika pemrograman computer yang nantinya akan dipelajari di SMA. Dengan pelatihan game edukasi ini, siswa bisa benar â€“ benar mengerti tentang logika pemrograman. Pada akhir pelatihan ini, siswa akan mendapatkan sertifikat dari code.org bila bisa menyelesaikan 20 game dengan benar.

This study investigated the effects of 3D model building activities with block codes on students' spatial thinking and computational thinking skills. The study group consists of 5th grade students in a secondary school in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey. For the study, a pretest-posttest control group was utilized within the experimental design. A total of 66 students participated, 23 in the experimental group and 43 in the control group. While the activities prepared on the Tinkercad platform were applied in the experimental group, the courses were taught using the traditional teaching method in the control group. The study covers a period of three-weeks in the course information technologies and software. The study used the computational thinking levels scale and spatial thinking test scales as data collection instruments. The data was analyzed using both descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests. Based on the study findings, there were no significant differences observed in the levels of computational thinking skills levels and spatial thinking test scores between the experimental and control groups.

“…The increasing popularity of BBPEs in domain-specific learning underscores the growing importance of content and usability evaluations for successful instructional outcomes and broad acceptance (Rijo-García, Segredo, & León, 2022). While usability surveys and interviews provide subjective insights, eye tracking offers objective data by tracking users' visual attention, cognitive processes, and decision-making (Dilmen, Kert, & Uğraş, 2023). For example, Dilmen et al (2023) investigated the efficiency of a BBPE using eye-tracking data to assess task completion times, step counts, and users' focus in guided areas.…”

The construction industry is increasingly harnessing sensing technologies to overcome manual data collection limitations and address the need for advanced data analysis. This places an aggravated demand for associated skills to interpret sensor data. Yet, a substantial gap exists between the level of academic preparation and the actual needs of the industry, leading to an underprepared workforce. In this study, ActionSens, a Block-Based Programming Environment, is implemented as an educational tool that combines sensor data from Inertial Measurement Units with machine learning algorithms. This integration enables the classification of construction activities, offering construction students a platform to explore and learn about sensor data analytics. However, in a pedagogical setting, an enhanced learning experience can be achieved through the integration of automated classification models that intelligently detect learners’ focus with the potential to provide context-specific support. This study utilizes 19 construction students’ eye-tracking data to train and evaluate machine learning models to detect learners’ visual focus on specific Areas of Interest within ActionSens. Ensemble, Neural Network, and K-Nearest Neighbor performed the best for both raw and SMOTE-oversampled datasets. The Ensemble had an edge in recognizing Areas of Interest, achieving top precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC in the oversampled data.
