An Innovative Module for Learning Computational Thinking Skills among Undergraduate Students

Abstract

This paper outlines an innovative module for learning computational thinking skills through Mobile Application Development Module (M-CT). We have designed the module where students can not only learn and enhance their CT skills, but stay motivated throughout the learning process. The study involves a group of lecturers from Malaysian institutions of higher learning where their responses will be used in identifying the elements of computational thinking skills and type of native mobile applications that can be incorporated to develop the M-CT module. We set out to evaluate the effectiveness of a M-CT module in achievement, understanding and motivation among undergraduate students on computational thinking skills.
