Developing student's computational thinking through the graphic calculator in STEAM education2019 •
The graphics calculator (GC) is a hand-held technology. With it, students visualize and understand concepts in mathematics and science better. It also allows them to make real-world connections, binding together advanced graphing functionality and conceptual science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM). As they gain a deeper understanding of abstract concepts, they acquire creative and critical thinking and problemsolving skills they need to reach greater academic successes. In learning, GC plays several roles in increasing students’ computational thinking and procedural skills. Despite being a learning tool that satisfies science and mathematics curriculum needs, the calculator often has been used as an add-on to traditional teaching methodology rather than central and in more integrated ways. This study looks into the potential of developing computational thinking skills using GC technology. The data of the study was obtained from secondary sources through a systematic review method. The study showed that GC seems to be effective tools to practice STEAM education as well as to develop students’ computational thinking through analysing and decompose real problem as well as engaging in the abstraction process and developing an algorithm using coding. The findings provides justifications on the impact of GC in developing computational thinking skills thereby maximizing the pedagogical benefits to students.

This study examined the influence of the jigsaw cooperative learning strategy integrated with GeoGebra (JCLGS), on Ethiopian undergraduate statistics and chemistry learners' conceptual knowledge development and attitudinal change towards calculus. The post-positivism quantitative methods approach employed in a non-equivalent pre-and post-test comparison group quasi-experimental design. The samples had drawn using two-stage random sampling techniques. The sample size was 150 in both the experimental and comparison groups. Data were collected by using the calculus classroom achievement test and the five points Likert-scale attitude questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, an independent-samples t-test and Two-Way ANOVA for repeated measures using SPSS 23.0. The results showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups of pre-post test scores on the Two-Way ANOVA, F(1,148)=106.913; í µí¼í µí¼ 2 = .419; p<.01. The finding also implies that the blended learning strategy grounded in Vygotsky's social constructivism cognitive development learning theory had big practical significance on learners' conceptual knowledge development. Learners viewed the JCLGS as enjoyable and interesting. It was also a socially interactive and collaborative environment that allows learners' to be reflective, share prior experience and knowledge and independent learners. It encourages them to have a positive attitude towards calculus and GeoGebra. Because of this finding, mathematics and science educators are advised to model a similar blended learning strategy in a classroom instructional setting. It will benefit their learners to adequately construct conceptual knowledge and positively change their attitude towards mathematics.

Digital Story Conceptual Change Oriented (DSCC) to Reduce Students’ Misconceptions in PhysicsThe development of digital story conceptual change-oriented (DSCC) has been implemented to reduce the number of students' misconceptions. In this study, DSCC is reviewed based on the story aspect. This experimental design study used a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sampling in this study was taken by a purposive technique involving 114 students from two districts. The diagnostic instrument used was four tier-test and rubrics for assessing the story aspect of DSCC. In determining the decrease of the students' misconceptions, the researchers use the DQM formula. The analysis of DSCC’s assessment result was done using a holistic method. The result of the study shows that there was a decrease in the number of students' misconceptions within the high category. The highest number of the student who decreases after the implementation of DSCC was 100% and that statement of misconception was: "every motionless object has no energy". On the other side, the result...
