Tsai, Meng-Jung; Liang, Jyh-Chong; Hsu, Chung-Yuan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Computational thinking has received tremendous attention from computer science educators and educational researchers in the last decade. However, most prior literature defines computational thinking as thinking outcomes rather than thinking processes. Based on Selby and Woodland's framework, this study developed and validated the Computational…

Tahy, Zsuzsanna Szalayné – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2016
It is a question in many countries whether ICT and application usage should be taught. There are some problems with IT literacy: users do not understand the concepts of a software, they cannot solve problems, and moreover, using applications gives them more problems. Consequently, using ICT seems to slow work down. Experts suggest learning…

Suters, Leslie; Suters, Henry – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2020
National standards and frameworks for mathematics, computer science, and technology emphasize the importance of teaching all children computational thinking (CT) skills. These skills are important for preparing citizens that are literate in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and for participation in a society that is rapidly…
