Question 1

How does the Computer Science framework address computational thinking?

Accepted Answer

Computational thinking describes the processes and approaches on logical reasoning, algorithms, decomposition, abstraction, and patterns and generalization when thinking computationally.

Question 2

Why is Computational Thinking important?

Accepted Answer

Computational thinking is the backbone of sequential processes which evolve into everyday real world solutions to problems.

Question 3

What are the 4 cornerstones of Computational Thinking?

Accepted Answer

decomposition - breaking down a complex problem into smaller, more manageable parts
pattern recognition – looking for similarities
abstraction – focusing on the important information only
algorithms - developing a step-by-step solution to the problem

Question 4

The 5th ‘C’ of 21st Century Skills?

Accepted Answer

Computational Thinking (CT). CT is about using analytic and algorithmic concepts and strategies most closely related to computer science to formulate, analyze and solve problems.
