The Ministry of Education operates a software curriculum to develop creative and convergent talents with computational thinking skills, and aims to develop the ability of all students to solve problems based on them necessary to live in the future society. Thus, this study compared how interest and satisfaction in classes, computational thinking skills, and ability to solve problems when applying the autonomous cooperative learning model, compared to the traditional teaching-learning methods to learners. As a result of applying the two models to the experimental and control group, it was confirmed that the satisfaction with the class was high in the group applying the autonomous cooperative learning method, and the computational thinking ability was increased. This is that the Autonomous cooperative learning model had significant results in improving computational thinking ability than the lecture model. KCI Citation Count: 1
