Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Tinkercad to assess its effectiveness in improving students’ computational thinking skills and learning outcomes in the Electrical Measurement Practicum course. The study addresses the limitations of laboratory availability and scheduling, which constrain students’ opportunities to engage in practical learning activities. A quasi-experimental method was employed involving two classes of students. Data were collected using learning outcome tests and computational thinking questionnaires administered before and after the implementation of Tinkercad. The findings indicate a moderate improvement in students’ learning outcomes following the intervention. The use of Tinkercad also provides an alternative learning environment that supports practical activities beyond the constraints of conventional laboratory schedules. These findings suggest that Tinkercad can serve as a complementary instructional medium for facilitating practicum learning, supporting the development of computational thinking skills, and improving learning outcomes in Electrical Measurement Practicum.
