COMPUTATIONAL THINKING FOR STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS

Subhankar Mishra

Abstract :

Computational Thinking (CT) will be an essential skill with implication in every field of human interest in the 21st century. It is an approach to problem solving derived from concepts of computing mainly abstraction and automation with applications across disciplines. With the exponential growth in science and technology, in this paper, even though computational thinking is not a new concept, the importance of computational thinking is revisited. A questionnaire survey was performed online for about 165 students at National Institute of Science and Technology (NISER) and questions about knowledge and need of CT were asked. The question seeks to assess the potential as well as the need of CT among the Indian academia as well as the cur– rent state of CT in Indian schooling system. In effort to address the concern raised by the students, it is imperative that the computational thinking should be given an important priority in the future both by students as well as educators as India starts competing for its place in the world.
