Abstract

This study aims to analyse the mathematical computational thinking ability of Mathematics Education study program students in terms of constructivism learning theory. The main focus of this research is to understand how the constructivist learning approach affects the development of students' mathematical computational thinking ability. This research is qualitative descriptive research. It explores students' learning process in the context of developing computational understanding and application of computational concepts in mathematics education. This research was conducted in the Department of Mathematics Education on students who took the Algebraic Structure course in the 2023/2024 academic year. The subjects of this research amounted to 34 students. The findings of this study provide insight into the effectiveness of constructivism learning theory in improving the mathematical computational thinking skills of Mathematics Education students. The results showed that students' average mathematical computational thinking ability was good, and descriptively, the prior mathematical knowledge could also differentiate students' mathematical computational thinking ability in terms of constructivism learning theory.
