Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meringkas bukti eksperimental mengenai pemikiran komputasi dan pemrograman yang dilakukan dalam pendidikan anak usia dini dalam hal pendekatan pemeblajaranm media pembelajaran, dan pengaruh usia dalam pendidikan pengkodean untuk anak usia dini. Untuk tujuan ini, database WoS, Scopus, dan Eric dipindai selama 5 tahun (2020-2024), dan studi yang ditentukan berada dalam ruang lingkup kriteria pemindaian sistematis dipilih untuk ditinjau. Dalam temuan penelitian saat ini, ditunjukkan pendekatan pembelajaran yang menggunakan media berwujud lebih mendukung pembelajaran, sementara media pembelajaran yang digunakan terbagi ke dalam tiga kelompok (plugged, unplug dan gabungan keduanya. Selain itu, usia sangat menentukan kemampuan pemahaman dalam pendidikan pengkodean terutama untuk aktivitas yang diistruksikan. Akhirnya, meskipun ada bukti konkret bahwa aplikasi yang dicolokkan dan dicabut meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir komputasi anak-anak, tampaknya aplikasi yang unplugged selangkah lebih maju, mengingat kekuatan memiliki pengalaman konkret.
