The Teaching of Computer Science, Programming and Computational Thinking in Pre-University Studies

摘要

Information technologies are the base infrastructure for the world, as we knew it an hour ago, works; and what will transform the world that we will meet in the next hour. In this social context, education, like any productive or service sector, is affected by technology (Toffler, 2001). But, it is no longer just talking about technology as a means to achieve better learning outcomes (Berlanga, et al., 2010; García-Peñalvo, 2011); it is about putting on the table the recurring idea that the professionals of the future are being educated with the methodologies, tools and strategies of the past.
