Computational Thinking
195919
DEFINITION
Concept rather than programming
Fundamental skill
Human ways to think
Ideas
CT FACETS
Generalisation
Abstraction
Decomposition
Algorithm
Iteration
Debugging
generalise problem to applied on similar problems
Identify the main aspects of a problem
break down problem into smaller parts and solve each of them
create step-by-step process to complete task
Repeat and refine solutions until achieve ideal result
Identify and fix error.

PRACTICES AND PERSPECTIVES
Practices
Perspectives
Incremental and iterative
Testing and debugging
Reusing and remixing
Abstracting and modularizing
identify concept of project
develop plan
implement design in code
trial and error
transfer from other activities
support from knowledgeable others
allows designers to build on others' works.
putting together collections of smaller parts
separating different behaviors
Expressing
Connecting
Questioning
"I can create"
Creativity and learning are deeply social practices
ask questions to make sense of computational things in world
