Problab-Scratch Goes to School: Design, Teaching and Learning of Probability with Interactive Computer Models

Abstract

Teaching programming and creating interactive computer models has attracted much attention over the years, mostly the attention of curriculum developers and teachers. ProbLab-Scrach is a series of tasks created to teach probability using interactive computer models using Google Colab and Scratch. This application is a means of facilitating discussions regarding probability material for junior high school students and contextualizing the content. This research aims to produce: (1) learning media developed on probability material at the Junior high school level, (2) level feasibility and student responses to learning media developed. This research is research and development (R&D) which uses the ADDIE model. Development procedures include analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. In the implementation stage, thirty participants of 8th grade (13-15 years old) Indonesian students learn probability materials with Google Colab and Scratch based on scenarios authored by the researchers. The results show that it is feasible to facilitate learning probability in Junior High School and have a positive impact on learning outcomes, especially theoretical and empirical probability.
