Abstract

The pandemic situation forces us to use technology in learning. Likewise, prospective teachers who do field practice must prepare themselves to learn to use technology. So to overcome this, research was carried out to analyze the validation process, practicality, and the improvement of teaching practice before and after using the Computational Thinking (CT) based teaching practice model. This study uses Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model, validation sheets, and practicality questionnaires used. The results showed that the design of teaching practice based on the CT approach was very feasible to use, marked by valid category, as indicated by the percentage value of 96% of teaching mathematics experts and 94% of technology experts, and practical use with a value of 95%, as well as an increase in the creativity of teaching practice. We recommend a CT-based teaching practice model using Ed-Tech on a hybrid learning system. This research is still limited to the mathematics department, and for future researchers to carry out this practice in other majors in the university environment. © 2022. All Rights Reserved.
