Computational Thinking Across the Curriculum: A Conceptual Framework
نویسنده
چکیده
The development of computer technologies and computer science has been largely motivated by a desire to support, extend and amplify the human intellect. The first general purpose computer, ENIAC, was built in 1946 to calculate artillery firing tables to support the task of artillery crews. At SRI in the mid-1960s, Doug Engelbart, in a project aptly entitled “Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework” [7], invented the mouse, the GUI (Graphic User Interface), hypertext (e.g. HTML), networked computers, and collaborative software tools such as teleand video-conferencing. Today, the Internet, the WWW, a myriad of computer applications, and computational concepts and techniques are available for the purpose of augmenting a person’s productivity, and more, in practically all human endeavors.

متن کاملFrom Computational Thinking to Systems Thinking: A conceptual toolkit for sustainability computing
If information and communication technologies (ICT) are to bring about a transformational change to a sustainable society, then we need to transform our thinking. Computer professionals already have a conceptual toolkit for problem solving, sometimes known as computational thinking. However, computational thinking tends to see the world in terms a series of problems (or problem types) that have...
