Beyond computational thinking: Investigating CT roles in the 21st century skill efficacy

21st century learning requires students to master a variety of future skills. This is important to increase their creativity and ability in solving problems systematically and creatively both in learning and in daily life. In improving thinking and problem-solving skills, Computational Thinking (CT) skills are important skills that need to be mastered by students. They are applicable not only in computer science but can also be applied in various other fields, especially Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). A preliminary study was conducted to identify the requirements to develop a model based on CT skills across STEM for the subject Design and Technology (RBT) in primary school. Results of the preliminary study show that the inability of students to think creatively and solve problems systematically is a contributing factor to problems faced by students in the Project Development part of RBT Year 5. This study explored RBT learning from the perspective of teachers and students. A survey was conducted using an instrument developed to further explore the problems faced by primary school students in the Project Development part of the RBT subject. Data of the survey were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software, version 23.0, for data descriptions.

A promoção do pensamento computacional no contexto escolar tem sido incentivada e pesquisada em todo o mundo como forma de potencializar diversas habilidades humanas. Algumas destas habilidades, denominadas Habilidades do Século XXI, são consideradas fundamentais para os dias atuais, mas ainda não são tão bem desenvolvidas dentro do ambiente escolar. Levando em conta que o pensamento computacional é visto como um possível propulsor dessas habilidades, esta pesquisa reúne e sintetiza estudos primários que investigam o efeito de intervenções aplicando o pensamento computacional sobre as habilidades do século XXI. Utilizamos a metodologia de revisão sistemática da literatura e, por meio dela, identificamos 57 estudos primários. Como resultado de nossa análise, encontramos evidências de resultados positivos da promoção do pensamento computacional em relação ao desenvolvimento das seguintes habilidades do século 21: aprender a aprender, colaboração, comunicação, criatividade, habilidades sociais, resolução de problemas, proficiência em TIC, inovação, pensamento crítico e trabalho em equipe.
