Computational thinking - a guide for teachers (2015, methodology): “The term computational thinking was first used by Seymour Papert, though Professor Jeannette Wing popularised the idea in advocating computational thinking for all new university students (Wing, 2006).”
Big data, bigger dilemmas: A critical review (2015, background): “(Wing, 2006) —in dealing with the problem of what to do when one has “lots of data to store, or lots of data to analyze, or lots of”
Computational thinking for teacher education (2017, background): “17 Computational thinking has been suggested as an analytical thinking skill that draws on concepts from computer science but is a fundamental skill used by, and useful for, all people.(28) Some have argued that computational thinking is a practice that is central to all sciences, not just computer ”
Computational Thinking for All: Pedagogical Approaches to Embedding 21st Century Problem Solving in K-12 Classrooms (2016, background): “Wing (2006) argued that computational thinking involves three key constructs: Algorithms, Abstraction, and Automation - the three A’s of CT.”
Robotics to develop computational thinking in early Childhood Education (2019, background): “Jeanette Wing used this term for the first time in 2006, arguing that this type of thinking “involves solving problems, designing systems and understanding human behavior, based on the fundamental concepts of informatics” (Wing, 2006: 33).”
