Computational thinking has four subsets: decomposition, pattern recognition, algorithms, and abstraction. Together, these valuable areas form the benefits of computational thinking.

In this example and others, Gomez said that algorithms help students acknowledge the steps they are following during a task and increase their awareness of their work processes. Gomez works with ...

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

Bringing computational thinking into education would outfit students to undertake problem solving where the problems are complex and have many interrelated parts (like a computational model does); to ...

Learner: Teaching computational thinking is as much a learning exercise for educators as it is for their students. Teachers will need to boost their own competencies in data analysis, abstraction and ...

This study developed a physical computing game-design project that incorporates block-based programming, physical computing, and computer game design for Taiwan’s high school technology education ...
