Melatih kemampuan berpikir komputasional mahasiswa membuka peluang untuk lebih menguasi konsep, menganalisis permasalahan, dan membangun solusi dunia nyata. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis kemampuan berpikir komputational mahasiswa Pendidikan Ilmu Komputer berupa kemampuan abstraksi, dekomposisi, berpikir algoritmik, dan generalisasi. Metode penelitian yaitu studi kasus dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Pembelajaran dilakukan kepada 40 mahasiswa semester 1 (satu) secara kolaboratif dalam penyelesaian masalah luas daerah dengan pendekatan limit. Pada akhir pembelajaran mahasiswa diberikan soal tes kemampuan berpikir komputasional mahasiswa. Jawaban tes setiap mahasiswa dianalisis dari segi sisi fungsi mental yang muncul untuk mengetahui karakteristik akusisi kemampuan penyelesaian masalah. Pada penelitian yang telah dilakukan mahasiswa dikategorikan dalam kelompok novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, dan expert berdasarkan karakter penyelesaian masalahnya. Pada umumnya setiap mahasiswa telah memiliki kemampuan berpikir algoritmik. Sebagian besar mahasiswa (kecuali kategori novice) juga telah mampu mengabstraksi dan mendekomposisi permasalahan. Sedangkan kemampuan pengenalan pola baru terlihat pada mahasiswa dengan kategori competent, proficient, dan expert.
Training students' computational thinking ability provides opportunities to comprehend concepts, analyse problems, and build solutions in real-life contexts. The purpose of the study was to analyse the computational thinking abilities of Computer Science Education students, i.e., abstraction, decomposition, algorithmic thinking, and generalization abilities. The research method used was a case study with a descriptive qualitative approach. The learning process was conducted by 40 students for semester 1 (one) semester collaboratively in solving area problems using the limit approach. At the end of the lesson, the students were tested through students' computational thinking abilities. Each student's answers were analyzed in terms of the mental functions that emerged to determine the characteristics of the acquisition of problem-solving ability. In this study, the students were categorized into groups of novices, advanced beginner, competent, professional, and expert based on the natures of their problem solving. In general, every student had the ability to think algorithmically. Most students (except the novice category) were able to abstract and unravel the problems. Meanwhile, the ability to recognize new patterns were demonstrated by the students in the competent, professional, and expert categories.
