Abstract

Recent years later, there have been researches exploring the importance of computational thinking as an important skill needed by the students to manage activities in all disciplines. The development of computational thinking requires media or tool to help the students develop skill through their experience. Robotics can be used as a media to give students opportunities with the learning by their experience. The correct approach is needed to help the students develop computational thinking through their experience with robotics. A constructivist approach is a prominent approach to teaching with the learning experience. The constructivist approach may potentially be considered of the development of computational thinking skills. This paper reviews the contribution of robotics and constructivist approach to computational thinking. The insight from the reviewed papers, subsequently, was analyzed the effect of the use of the robotics and constructivist approach to computational thinking
