Is Computational Thinking Critical Thinking?

2021
Jeannette Wing popularized the idea of computational thinking, which is the set of approaches typically used in computer science in order to solve a problem. In recent years, nationwide educational reform efforts have focused on expanding students’ exposure to and proficiency in computational thinking.

The long quest for computational thinking

Proceedings of the 16th Koli Calling International Conference on Computing Education Research, 2016
Computational thinking (CT) is a popular phrase that refers to a collection of computational ideas and habits of mind that people in computing disciplines acquire through their work in designing programs, software, simulations, and computations performed by machinery.

Writing, thinking and computers

British Journal of Educational Technology, 1993
Abstract The author reviews the potential of word‐processors for changing the ways in which writers process written text and, indeed, think about writing. He draws distinctions between different kinds of writing software and discusses whether changing the processes of writing necessarily leads to improvements in writing quality.

From computational thinking to computational values

Proceedings of the 43rd ACM technical symposium on Computer Science Education, 2012
SIGCSE members love the beauty of computational thinking. They know the joy of bringing those ideas to young people. That love for computational thinking entails respect for the computational values that empower people in the digital world. For academics, those values have been central to the flowering of computing as an intellectual endeavor.

Computational Thinking

This chapter reviews research on integrating computational thinking (CT) in early childhood education (ECE) over the past decade, emphasizing its growing importance as a crucial skill for the technological world. It explores how CT is taught in early years, the characteristics of CT activities, and their learning outcomes.
