TikTok Platform to Train Middle School Students' Computational Thinking Skills in Distance Learning
Keywords:
Computational thinking, Distance learning, TiktokAbstract
The competence of students in Indonesia is still in a low rank
based on their problem-solving and reasoning abilities. The
pandemic condition forces distance learning to hinder the
improvement of students' abilities if there is no innovation in
learning that can help students to always be motivated in
learning. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of
using TikTok as a learning media innovation to train
computational thinking skills, especially in the distance
learning process. The research method uses a quantitative
approach with the target of 9th-grade junior high school
students. The results of the study showed that the post-test
average of students was 89.3%, increasing 32.2% from the
pre-test results which only reached 57.1%. This shows that
short videos uploaded through TikTok can be an effective
and innovative learning media.
