The increasing of ICT utilization brought the increasing of energy consumption which causes global emission. In fact, ICT utilization produces two percent of global emission of CO2. Most studies focus on reducing global emission of CO2 through energy-efficient software and hardware utilizations. However, how to improve energy-efficient programming skills for students has not been investigated well. To address this issue, this work proposes exploring computational thinking which is a teaching learning model adopted computer works. Computational thinking is applied in Fundamental programming subject for eight meetings. Energy-efficient programming skill of students is evaluated before and after the implementation of computational thinking. In addition, the instruments to evaluate energy-efficient programming skill is adapted from previous related work. Finally, statistical analysis reveals that computational thinking improves student's skill in energy-efficient programming.
