Development of smart apps creator based on computational thinking skills in ecosystem topics at MI Al-Fattah Malang
Abstract
Science and Social Studies (IPAS) learning on ecosystem topics in Grade V at MI Al-Fattah Malang remains teacher-centered, underutilizes digital technology, and has not integrated Computational Thinking Skills (CTS). As a result, students struggle to understand abstract ecosystem concepts and achieve low learning outcomes. This study aims to develop Smart Apps Creator (SAC) multimedia based on CTS for ecosystem topics and to determine its effectiveness in improving students' computational thinking abilities. A Research and Development (R&D) approach using the Lee & Owens model (assessment/analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation) was employed, involving 36 Grade V students divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through observation, interviews, expert validation questionnaires, and pretest-posttest instruments, then analyzed using SPSS 25 with paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. The multimedia product named "ECO-LAB" was categorized as "Highly Feasible" with feasibility percentages of 100% from the media expert, 93% from the content expert, and 98% from the learning expert. The paired sample t-test showed a significant improvement in the experimental group's average score from 49 to 82 (Sig. = 0.000; p < 0.05), while the independent sample t-test revealed a significant difference between the posttest scores of the experimental and control groups (Sig. = 0.013; p < 0.05). SAC multimedia based on CTS proved effective in improving Grade V students' computational thinking abilities in ecosystem topics.
