Trihastuti Yuniati, S.Kom., M.T.
Latar Belakang [1]

• Komputer yang semula “main frame” (berukuran sangat

besar, kapasitas memori kecil) dan hanya digunakan untuk
perhitungan scientific, saat ini hadir dimana-mana untuk
berbagai keperluan.
• Kehadiran smartphone, komputer, social media, virtual
reality, IoT mengubah cara pandang, bisnis dan gaya hidup
manusia.
• Inovasi baru banyak bermunculan. Bekerja di bidang apapun
memerlukan “informatika”.

Latar Belakang [2]

• Industry 4.0 dimana banyak pekerjaan repetitif akan

digantikan oleh robot.
• Banyak kebutuhan “software developer” baik di dalam
maupun luar negeri, namun sedikit yang memenuhi syarat.
• Industry 4.0 tidak akan menghapus profesi software
developer.

exam administered
every three years that
measures 15-year-olds
in 72 countries.
About 540,000 students
took the exam in 2015.

Computational Thinking
 Informatics (CS) versus ICT

• Informatics (Computer Science) is concerned with

designing and creating informatics ‘products’ and
‘tools’, such as: algorithms, programs, application
software, systems, methods, theorems, computers, …

• ICT – applications of CS (computing) – concentrates on

how to use and apply informatics and other information
technology tools in working with information;
can be also creative

“Computational Thinking is the thought

 Computational Thinking
http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/topics/z7tp34j

Four key techniques (cornerstones) to CT:

decomposition - breaking down a complex
problem or system into smaller, more
manageable parts
abstraction – focusing on the important
information only, ignoring irrelevant detail
algorithms - developing a step-by-step solution
to the problem, or the rules to follow to solve
the problem
pattern recognition – looking for similarities
among and within problems

 Computational Thinking:
Operational definition for K-12 education

Computational thinking (CT) is a problem-solving process

that includes (but is not limited to) the following characteristics:
• Formulating problems in a way that enables us to use a computer and other
tools to help solve them
• Logically organizing and analyzing data
• Representing data through abstractions such as models and simulations
• Automating solutions through algorithmic thinking (a series of ordered steps)
• Identifying, analyzing, and implementing possible solutions with the goal
of achieving the most efficient and effective combination of steps and resources
• Generalizing and transferring this problem solving process to a wide
variety of problems

 CT Concept, Capability Informatics
Data collection Find a data source for a problem area
Data analysis Write a program to do basic statistical calculations on a set of data

Data representation Use data structures such as array, linked list, stack, queue, graph, hash table
Problem decomposition Define objects and methods; define main and functions
Abstraction Use procedures to encapsulate a set of often repeated commands that
perform a function; use conditionals, loops, recursion,
Algorithms & procedures Study classic algorithms; implement an algorithm for a problem area
Automation Run programs
Parallelization Threading, pipelining, dividing up data or task in such a way to be processed
in parallel
Simulation Algorithm animation, parameter sweeping
