Abstract

In the 21st century, problem-solving skills have emerged as a crucial competency for better decision making and increasing creativity. However, there is an unclear strategy to enrich students with problem-solving skills in teaching practices. To address this issue, computational thinking (CT) is suggested as one systematic technique to train students in acquiring problem-solving skills. Considering Generation Z's technological savvy, a mobile application will be developed to foster CT skills for solving problems in science subjects such as chemistry. Therefore, this study explores the design, development, and evaluation of a mobile application to implement CT algorithmic thinking skills, focusing on problem-solving scenarios. The researchers predict that this study can offer insights into the implementation of CT algorithmic thinking in designing future learning materials, thus improving problem-solving skills among students.
