Abstrak

Computational thinking (CT) has become one of the critical goals of teaching CS programming courses. Computational skills consist of skills taken in a computational form in learning programming and dealing with daily life. More research adopted games to teach CT skills. This paper investigated two games, Little Alchemy 2 and Dr. Sudoku, to promote CS students’ CT skills and applied international Bebras tests to measure their CT skills. The results showed that CT skills in problem decomposition and pattern recognition could be improved via digital games. Thus, this study contributes to computing education using available digital games to promote CS college students’ CT abilities.
