The final component of computational thinking is algorithmic thinking. This is the process of defining a step-by-step solution to the problem that can be replicated for a predictable and reliable outcome. For the modern definition of computational thinking pertaining to computer science, this ...

Since Jeanette Wing's use of the term computational thinking in 2006, various discussions have arisen seeking a robust definition of the phrase. With little consensus having been found in the intervening years, there are even suggestions that a definition is not important. Perhaps focus should be...
Moreover, Wing says it was originated by a discussion with Alfred Aho, who provided a very similar definition, more focused on “algorithmic thinking”: “We consider computational thinking to be the thought processes involved in formulating problems so their solutions can be represented as ...
This chapter reviews the current state of Computational Thinking (CT)—an idea that promotes the use of computer science concepts to enhance problem solving in various subject domains. Although milliondoi:10.1007/978-3-319-30295-9_14Spector, J. Michael...
This definition allows us to understand the different elements that make up computational thinking. But it is also important to understand that this type of thinking is not only used to solve problems with computational means, but can also be used to solve other problems in very different fields...
Here we present a refined definition of CT in science and mathematics classrooms. Based on our extensive research designing and studying CT curricular units in collaboration with science and mathematics teachers, we have arrived at a working draft of a revised computational thinking in science and ...
Well, that’s probably all I have to say right now. I hope I’ve been able to communicate a few of the exciting things that we’ve got going on right now, and a few of the things that I think are new and emerging in computational thinking and the technology around it. So, thanks...
While most of this work was completed in secondary schools, recent attention has turned to investigating if and how learning of basic computational thinking concepts can be furthered in early years' education through use of manipulatives such as smart toys (e.g., Lin et al., 2020), simple ...
This chapter introduces the concept of computational thinking. It builds on the previous chapters to illustrate the central theme in computational thinking. It first reviews the main goals of parallel programming. It then discusses the thinking process of problem decomposition and algorithm selection. It...
