Last modified: 2021-12-06
Abstract
Computer programming is one of the favourite learning topics among students in the 21st century. However, often the students' creative thinking skills are less able to compensate for this computer programming learning. One of the learning activities applied to hone students' creativity in the field of computer programming is digital storytelling. Through the results of these activities, teachers can measure the level of students' creativity. The measurement of student creativity uses 4 factors (fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration). The problems that arise in measuring creativity are the long-time consumption and the high level of subjectivity between each teacher. This study proposes an automated assessment tool system that can measure these 4 factors objectively and without requiring a long time. This software development process uses one of the software developments models, namely the waterfall model. The ease of use of this model makes developers use it a lot in making various software. The automated assessment tool can be a practical solution in supporting the improvement of students' creative thinking skills in computer programming.
