The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Computational thinking for teacher education (2017, background): “Pre-service teachers in a science-methods course could be exposed to computational thinking through computational models for demonstrating scientific ideas and phenomena to their future students.(27) The computational models could also be used to test hypotheses, as well as solutions to problems.”
Which cognitive abilities underlie computational thinking? Criterion validity of the Computational Thinking Test (2017, background): “…bias of the CTt, as computational thinking can also be projected over problems with different features, such as: modeling scientific simulations (Weintrop et al., 2016); algorithmic composition of computational music (Edwards, 2011); or digital interactive storytelling (Burke, 2012; Howland &…”
Demystifying computational thinking (2017, background): “A fourth recent model aims to merge CT and regular classroom instruction (Weintrop et al., 2016).”
