Computational thinking

Computational thinking (CT) refers to the thought processes involved in formulating problems so their solutions can be represented as computational steps and algorithms. In education, computational thinking is a set of problem-solving methods that involve expressing problems and their solutions in ways a computer could also execute. It involves automation of processes, but also using computing to explore, analyze, and understand processes (natural and artificial).

It is based on a view of computing as the application of general-purpose logical reasoning to domain-specific knowledge expressed in logical terms. Teaching materials for computational logic as a computer language for children were developed in the early 1980s. University-level texts for non-computing students were developed in the early 2010s. In the 2020s, a variety of new teaching materials have been developed to bridge the gap between STEM and non-STEM academic disciplines. ==References== ==Further reading==
