Computational Thinking, SpeQ Mathematics, Decomposition, Qualitative Approach, Abstraction Ability and AlgorithmsAbstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the computational thinking skills of junior high
school students in solving mathematics problems using the SpeQ Mathematics application. This
study applies a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were obtained through
student journals and observations of student interactions with the application. The data analysis
process was carried out using the Dedoose application to code and evaluate qualitative data
based on computational thinking indicators, namely decomposition, pattern recognition,
abstraction, and algorithms. The results of the analysis showed that the majority of students
showed good abilities in terms of decomposition and pattern recognition, but faced challenges in
the aspects of abstraction and algorithm construction. The use of the SpeQ Mathematics
application has proven effective in helping students understand mathematical concepts with a
more visual and interactive approach. Overall, this study concludes that the SpeQ Mathematics
application can improve students' computational thinking skills, although additional practice is
needed to develop abstraction and algorithm creation skills.
