Abstract
This study investigates the effects of plugged-in chemistry experiment module on students’ computational thinking and science process skills. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control group was adopted, involving treatment and control groups. Descriptive and inferential analyses showed a significant difference in computational thinking skills between students using the plugged-in approach and those using the conventional approach, favouring plugged-in approach. Conversely, a significant difference in science process skills was observed, favouring the conventional approach. Significant differences were also observed between pre-test and post-test scores in science process skills for both groups, and in computational thinking skills for the experimental group. Lastly, there is no correlation between computational thinking and science process skills among chemistry students. The results are beneficial to the students as they are effective in enhancing students’ computational thinking and science process skills.
