Abstract

The concept of computational thinking has been discussed for several decades and in recent years has been brought to the attention of the scientific community by Jeanette Wing. The importance of computational thinking places it among the basic skills for the 21st century, together with reading, writing, and calculation, that every person will have to master, so it is important to teach it in primary school. As the invention of printing facilitated the spread of the three Rs (reading, writing, and arithmetic), the technology must lead to the spread of computational thinking. This chapter will introduce the research on computational thinking and, in particular, the works on innovative computational environments, and will describe the situation of the education to CT in high school and in academic courses.
