Abstract

Computational Thinking (CT) is a problem-solving approach that consists of four fundamental thinking processes: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm. As an improvement to the author’s previous study, this paper emphasizes the effects of CT on user interface (UI) design as part of the phases in a software development life cycle (SDLC). An action research approach was used to identify key factors to be considered in UI design regarding the CT process. The result revealed that the abstraction process and pattern recognition were crucial factors in UI design. It shows improvement in the abilities of a number of designers who have succeeded in designing the UI prototypes to increase by approximately 5 times their abstraction and pattern recognition. Hence, the two fundamental processes played an important role in designing the system behavior based on the perspective of user needs and requirements.
