Computational thinking involves applying concepts, methods, and logic from computer science to solve problems. It requires exploring problems thoroughly, using precise language, and applying clear reasoning. Key terms include computing, computer science, programming, computational thinking skills, and computational thinking practices. Inclusive pedagogies engage all learners in computing. Computational thinking also involves pattern recognition, pseudocode to develop algorithms, and programming languages like Java.

3. Computational thinking is
the mental skill to apply
concepts,methods, problem
solving techniques, and logic
reasoning, derived from
computing and computer
science, to solve problems in
all areas, including our daily
lives.

4. Important terms in computational
thinking :
Computing is the process of using computer
technology to complete a given goal-oriented task.
Computer science is the study of computation,
automation, and information.
 Programming is the practice of developing a set of
instructions that a computer can understand and execute, as
well as debugging, organizing, and applying that code to
appropriate problem-solving contexts.

5. • Computational thinking skills- are the cognitive
processes necessary to engage with computational
tools to solve problems. These skills are the
foundation to engage in any computational problem
solving and should be integrated into early learning
opportunities .
• Computational thinking practices - combine multiple
computational skills to solve an applied problem.
Students in the older grades (4-12) may use these
practices to develop artifacts such as a computer
program, data visualization, or computational model.

6. • Inclusive pedagogies - are strategies for
engaging all learners in computing, connecting
applications to students’ interests and
experiences, and providing opportunities to
acknowledge, and combat biases and
stereotypes within the computing field.

7. Computational thinking requires:
•exploring and analyzing problems
thoroughly in order to fully understand
them
•using precise and detailed language to
outline both problems and solutions
•applying clear reasoning at every stage of
the process

18. Pattern Recognition Process

19. Example

27. Conditions for loops:
• While the user gets their
password wrong, allow them to
input it or
• For three attempts let the user
input their password and that
question there would be has a
user answered it three times or
• Do until we do something until
the condition is met allow the
user to enter their password until
they answer the correct password
.

29. Pseudocode is an artificial and informal language that
helps programmers develop algorithms. Pseudocode
is a "text-based" detail (algorithmic) design tool.

31. JAVA PROGRAMMING
Java is a widely used object-oriented
programming language and software
platform that runs on billions of devices, including
notebook computers, mobile devices, gaming
consoles, medical devices and many others. The
rules and syntax of Java are based on the C and
C++ languages
