Assessment of Computational Thinking Notions in Secondary School

Abstract

Abstract. New technological developments, the hyperconnectivity and globalization of the economy are raising important opportunities and challenges to the economy. The labour market must also address these opportunities and challenges, to evolve and accommodate future workers and businesses. The introduction of digital technologies in sectors of the economy allows devices and systems collaborate with each other and with other systems allowing to modify the products, processes and business models. The digitization of society and the economy poses challenges and creates opportunities for all sectors must adapt their processes, products and business models. Educational system cannot be left out of this future and new models like Computational Thinking (CT) can help achieve and better prepare future citizens. But when new skills and techniques such as CT are applied, it is necessary to evaluate them. In this paper a model for evaluating the skills and attitudes of CT for subjects of secondary education is presented.

Primary School Students’ Computational Thinking in Solving Mathematics Problems Based on Learning Style

“…Thinking ability is thinking ability related to the mindset that includes the understanding of the problem-solving, level of abstraction, and development of automatic problem-solving (Bilbao et al (2017). Thinking is a crucial approach in developing computer applications, but computational thinking can also be used to solve mathematical problems.…”

Study to find out the perception that first year students in engineering have about the Computational Thinking skills, and to identify possible factors related to the ability of Abstraction

“…According to different authors, Computational Thinking can be included in different fields of knowledge and real life, being related to other skills and abilities such as the problem solving [dataset] ( Wing, 2010 ; Grover and Pea, 2013 ; Bilbao et al., 2017 ). Little by little, it has gained ground in the academic plans in different countries and has been integrated into their educational systems [dataset] ( Dagienė and Stupuriene, 2016 ; Varela et al., 2019 ; Angeli and Giannakos, 2020 ).…”

Analysing Students’ Creativity in Integrating GeoGebra Applets in Solving Geometrical Problems

“…The development of an experimental learning environment that provides opportunities for enhancing the creative potential of students, future teachers of mathematics and informatics, enables the finding of ways for their effective job-oriented pedagogical preparation. In the near future people without a minimum knowledge about technology will have serious problems to develop their professional career (Bilbao et al, 2017). A modern learning environment can be developed by using innovative tools and training methods (Petkova, 2016;Kubilinskiene et al, 2016).…”
