Berpikir Komputasional, Permainan Congklak, Anak Usia 4-5 Tahun.Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan perencanaan, pelaksanaan, refleksi, dan peningkatan kemampuan berpikir komputasional anak usia 4–5 tahun melalui permainan congklak di TK Yayasan Islam. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) model Kurt Lewin yang terdiri atas tahap perencanaan, tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 18 anak kelompok A1 usia 4–5 tahun. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, catatan lapangan, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan berpikir komputasional anak dari pra tindakan sebesar 39,29% dengan kategori Mulai Berkembang (MB), menjadi 56,64% dengan kategori Berkembang Sesuai Harapan (BSH) pada siklus I, dan meningkat menjadi 85,54% dengan kategori Berkembang Sangat Baik (BSB) pada siklus II. Penelitian ini mengintegrasikan permainan tradisional congklak sebagai media koding unplugged untuk memfasilitasi empat elemen berpikir komputasional yaitu dekomposisi, pengenalan pola, abstraksi, dan algoritma pada anak usia 4–5 tahun. Dengan demikian, permainan congklak efektif digunakan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir komputasional anak usia 4–5 tahun melalui kegiatan bermain terstruktur dan menyenangkan bagi anak.
