History of development


Computational thinking as a concept can be traced back to the birth of modern computers. The term computational thinking was first used by Seymour Papert in 1980 and brought to the forefront of computer science education by Jeannette Wing in 2006.


Importance

Computational thinking is a basic skill that must be possessed by a computer major learner. Only with computational thinking can learners transform problems in reality into problems understandable by computer algorithms and logic through analysis, identification and abstraction, and find out solutions.


As a kind of thinking ability, computational thinking can not only help me better solve the problems I will encounter in the computer industry in the future, but also explain other difficult problems in reality into ways that people know how to solve them. This is not only conducive to the development of individuals in the computer industry, but also conducive to us to keep a good attitude when facing problems. In addition, it can also help us to better communicate with others and solve problems.
