Abstract
The development of learning management in computational thinking is necessary in 21st century learners for students in lower secondary which find the problem of thinking ability especially computational thinking skills. The purposes of this research were 1) to develop and evaluate of efficiency for the instructional innovation using problem-based learning with robotics, 2) to study of the result of developing computational thinking skills and 3) to study of student satisfaction in grade 7 students by using this instructional innovation. The research participants were 30 students in grade 7 from purposive sampling by using one group pretest-posttest design. The research tools were 1) the instructional innovation using problem-based learning with robotics, 2) the lesson plans using problem-based learning approach, 3) the assessment of the computational thinking skills, and 4) the student satisfaction questionnaire. Statistics for data analysis were 1) the efficiency of learning instructional innovation in order to meet the E1/E2 of 70/70 criteria, 2) the inferential statistics including to one sample t-Test and paired sample t-Test and 3) the descriptive statistics were percentage, mean and standard deviation. The research results indicated that 1) the research instrument was the instructional innovation consists of robot, map board game, places flashcards, information flashcards, and answer flashcards with an efficiency value of 74.79/74.89 which was higher than criterion at 70/70; 2) the scores of the computational thinking skills of students after learning (= 22.47, S.D. = 1.61) with the instructional innovation was higher than before studies (
= 8.60, S.D. = 2.21) and the 70 percent criterion; 3) the results from a questionnaire revealed that the students were satisfied at the highest level with instructional innovation (
= 4.49, S.D. = 0.31). As a result, learning management with an instructional innovation using problem-based learning with robotics can be extended to other subjects in science to enhance the knowledge, understanding, and skills of learners.
