The The Influence of Computational Thinking Skills, Critical Thinking Skills, and Collaborative Thinking Skills on the Learning Outcomes of Robotics Competence of Electrical Engineering Education Students
Abstract
Objective: This study aims to examine the influence of computational thinking skills, critical thinking skills, and collaborative thinking skills on the learning outcomes of robotics competencies of Electrical Engineering Education Students. Method: The sample in this study was 150 respondents, all of whom were students of the Electrical Engineering Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Surabaya. The research data were obtained from filling out the questionnaire and analyzed quantitatively using the SEM PLS analysis technique with the help of the SmartPLS program. Results: This study shows that (1) Critical thinking skills have a positive effect on the educational robotics-based learning system, (2) computational thinking skills have a positive effect on the educational robotics-based learning system, (3) collaborative skills have a positive effect on the educational robotics-based learning system, (4) critical thinking skills have a positive effect on learning outcomes, (5) Computational Thinking Skills have a positive effect on learning outcomes, (6) Collaboration Skills have a positive effect on learning outcomes, (7) educational robotics-based learning systems have a positive effect on learning outcomes. Novelty: Educational robotics-based learning systems can be an ideal platform for developing computational, critical, and collaborative thinking skills among students. The use of robots as interactive and direct learning media through experiments and problem solving. This can help better understand technical concepts and increase confidence in facing complex challenges in the increasingly connected and rapidly changing real world.
