Context matters: Secondary science teachers' integration of process‐based, unplugged computational thinking into science curriculum

Abstract: There is growing recognition in the education community that the problem‐solving practices that comprise computational thinking (CT) are a fundamental component of both life and work in the twenty‐first century. Historically, opportunities to learn CT have been confined to computer science (CS) and elective courses that lack racial, ethnic, and gender diversity. To combat this inequity, a number of scholars have proposed integrating CT practices into core curriculum——especially science, technology, engineering… Show more

“…The interaction between CT and STEM also provides new insight into the construct, nature, and definition of CT. Wing (2006) stated that CT "complements and combines mathematical and engineering thinking" (p. 35). It is also pointed out that CT skills are required by and can be learned in various disciplines (Sung & Black, 2020), especially the STEM disciplines (e.g., Chen & Terada, 2021;Gunckel et al, 2022;Kite & Park, 2023;Lilly et al, 2022;NGSS Lead States, 2013;Peters-Burton et al, 2023;Rachmatullah & Wiebe, 2022). For instance, The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) advocate using CT to develop scientific understanding (NGSS Lead States, 2013).…”

“…Meanwhile, CT should not only receive attention in computer science education but should also be incorporated into teaching and curriculum across all subjects, especially STEM subjects. For instance, more CT-integrated classroom activities can be implemented to develop students' scientific understanding (e.g., Kite & Park, 2023;NGSS Lead States, 2013;Peel et al, 2019), advance students' scientific reasoning (e.g., Irgens et al, 2020) and support students' scientific inquiry (e.g., Peters-Burton et al, 2023).…”
