AI-Based Interactive Digital Game Development Project in Social Studies Learning to Enhance Students’ Computational Thinking
This study aims to develop an interactive digital game project based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Social Studies learning to improve students' computational thinking skills. The method used is research and development (R&D) with the stages of preliminary study, conceptual model development, validation, revision, and model implementation. The research subjects were 60 students in higher education. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and field notes, and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The results of the study indicate that student involvement in the AI-based interactive digital game development project has a positive impact on improving computational thinking skills, which include decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms. The implementation of this interactive digital game development project can significantly influence students' computational thinking skills.. These findings confirm that the integration of AI in project-based learning not only produces innovative learning media, but also strengthens essential computational thinking skills in the digital age. The implications of this study are the need for wider application of AI-based learning models in other courses and increased digital facility support so that students can develop 21st-century skills more optimally.
