Abstract
Thinking steps of computational thinking have an essential role in forming creative thinking to find ideas in a structured manner. Not only developing creative thinking, this stage also helps understand how to implement ideas into computational procedures. This study aims to design worksheets for helping the students understand and improve Computational Thinking Skills (CTS) in the material interpolation with the problem based learning (PBL) strategy. In many studies, the application of PBL shows an increase in various student abilities. This research applied to 39 students of computational physics courses. In this study, there was an increase in CTS, such as abstraction, algorithm automation, data analysis, data collection, and data representation.
