About
Ira Puspitasari is a dedicated researcher in computer science education, with a primary focus on enhancing programming pedagogy and fostering creativity among vocational students. Her most cited work, "MENGUKUR KREATIFITAS DAN KUALITAS PEMOGRAMAN PADA SISWA SMK KOTA PEKANBARU JURUSAN TEKNIK KOMPUTER JARINGAN DENGAN SIMULASI ROBOT" (2018), has garnered 36 citations, reflecting its significant impact on educational practices. In this study, Puspitasari pioneered the use of robot simulations to teach programming, arguing that introducing complex concepts through engaging, hands-on methods—rather than abstract, tedious approaches—can dramatically boost student motivation and learning outcomes. Her research demonstrates that when students begin with simple, enjoyable tasks, they develop stronger creative and technical skills, reducing the risk of disengagement. This work has influenced curriculum design in Indonesian vocational high schools, particularly in computer network engineering programs. Puspitasari’s contributions lie at the intersection of educational technology and cognitive psychology, offering practical strategies for making programming accessible and exciting. Her findings underscore the importance of playful learning in STEM education, making her a key voice in reforming how computational thinking is taught to young learners.
