COMPUTATIONAL THINKING

Abstract

The development of computational thinking skills has become more and more vital in order to gain success in the 21st-century society, which is undergoing a technology-oriented transformation. In this study, computational thinking; necessity, the foundations on which it is based, its sub-dimensions, and its aspects are discussed. Computational thinking is a concept that has existed since the emergence of the concepts of computer and computer science. Computational thinking, which allows one to break down and analyze problems cognitively similar to computer programming, is considered a process that facilitates the development of problem-solving skills in individuals. Computational thinking is considered a skill set that everyone will be willing to learn and practice, but there are few studies and evidence that it improves cognitive skills.
