Computational thinking — thinking like a computer and using concepts of computer science to solve problems — is one approach that teachers might already be using without even knowing it.

Computational Thinking: The process of solving problems by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable parts, using abstraction, algorithm design, decomposition, and iterative testing.

Anderson introduced computational-thinking concepts into her science curriculum in the fall of 2021. After nearly a full school year, she says her students can use them to describe their thought ...

Ignite My Future in School offers educators curriculum support through free instructional resources with computational thinking strategies embedded into subjects such as math, science, language ...

Computational thinking has largely been associated with computer science, but some educators see how this way of thinking can apply across the curriculum.

In conversations about artificial intelligence in education, the focus often drifts toward tools, platforms, and policies.

We suggest that computational thinking — which applies concepts from computer science — provides a framework for pre-K-12 educators to integrate and apply computational methods to solve ...

In formulating this taxonomy, we draw on the existing computational thinking literature, interviews with mathematicians and scientists, and exemplary computational thinking instructional materials.

Our results show that (1) students exhibited science and computational learning gains after engaging with a science unit with computational models and (2) that the use of embedded assessments and ...

CU Boulder computer science Professor Alexander Repenning remembers one of the key moments that affirmed his choice to study computational thinking, a relatively new field of research into the mental ...
