Abstract
Learning mathematics in elementary school involves more than just numerical calculation; students also need to develop logical and systematic thinking skills as well as problem-solving abilities. Computational Thinking (CT) which encompasses problem-solving, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking offers a suitable approach and has already been incorporated into the “Kurikulum Merdeka”. However, limited research specifically addresses how CT is integrated, the teaching strategies employed, its benefits, and the challenges associated with its implementation. This study analyzes these issues through a systematic literature review. An analysis of 20 articles reveals that CT can be taught through various methods, such as problem-based activities, Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), unplugged activities, and visual programming tools like Scratch. The findings indicate that CT helps students enhance their problem-solving and logical thinking skills while fostering an interest in learning. Nevertheless, challenges persist, including a lack of teacher understanding, reliance on conventional problem types, and the misconception that CT is synonymous with programming. The study recommends providing better teacher training and tailoring CT activities to the specific needs of elementary school students.
