Abstract

This research is based on the problem of low logical thinking skills of PTIK students in programming algorithms, and cannot be optimized through traditional teaching methods. the main thing of the research is to design and assess interactive modules based on the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model to improve the logical thinking skills of PTIK students. The research method used is the Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model which includes the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. These stages involve determining needs, organized planning, digital product development, implementation in a real learning context, and thorough evaluation. The resulting module combines the features of a live coding editor to support practice. The findings of this study indicate that this interactive module is very useful and practical to implement. Expert validation confirmed that in terms of functionality, ease of use, reliability and efficiency, the module has good quality, and the module also proved successful in improving the logical thinking skills of PTIK students. In conclusion, the PBL-based interactive module can be considered as a practical and effective learning tool. The new discovery in this research is the provision of an innovative integrated digital learning solution, which directly supports the improvement of logical thinking skills in the field of programming.


Review

This study tackles the critical educational challenge of low logical thinking skills among PTIK students in programming algorithms, an area where traditional teaching methods often fall short. By proposing the design and assessment of interactive modules built upon the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model, the research aims to provide an innovative solution to enhance these crucial skills. The adoption of a Research and Development (R&D) approach, specifically the ADDIE model, provides a robust and systematic framework for developing and evaluating this educational intervention, signaling a well-structured effort to address a pertinent issue in computer science education. The methodology is a notable strength, outlining a comprehensive process from needs analysis and organized planning to digital product development, real-context implementation, and thorough evaluation. The resulting interactive module ingeniously incorporates a live coding editor, a practical feature that directly supports hands-on programming practice. The findings are highly positive, indicating that the module is not only useful and practical but also rigorously validated by experts across multiple quality dimensions, including functionality, ease of use, reliability, and efficiency. Crucially, the research claims success in improving students' logical thinking skills, presenting the module as an innovative integrated digital learning solution. While the abstract strongly supports the module's utility and effectiveness, a deeper dive into the specific metrics used to quantify the improvement in logical thinking skills would enhance the paper's impact. Details regarding the experimental design, sample size, and statistical significance of the observed improvements would provide more robust evidence. Additionally, elaborating on what precisely constitutes the "new discovery" of an "innovative integrated digital learning solution" in comparison to existing tools or methodologies would further solidify this strong claim. Nevertheless, this research clearly demonstrates the potential of PBL-based interactive modules as a practical and effective learning tool, making a valuable contribution to the field of programming education.
