An Effective Microlearning Approach Using Living Book to Promote Vocational Students' Computational Thinking

The purpose of this study was to describe the effectiveness of using living books (mobile leaning and augmented reality) within the context of microlearning approach to promote vocational students' computational thinking. The participants were 97 vocational students that included experimental group (n=52) and control group (n=45) vocational college who enrolled in the basic of mathematics career in 2nd semester of academic year 2018. The instruments of this research include learning materials: mobile learning and AR book, the lesson plan of surface area and volume topic in basic mathematics career subject, pre and post-tests, and the computational thinking assessment. The results showed that the students' learning achievement of experimental group employed microlearning approach using living books, the control group employed traditional learning was statistically significant at level of .01. In addition, the result of students' computational thinking in the experimental group using of microlearning living book have been the computational thinking at the high level.
