The 5th ‘C’ of 21st Century Skills? Try Computational Thinking (Not Coding)
Shuchi Grover (2018)
For better or worse, computing is pervasive, changing how and where people work, collaborate, communicate, shop, eat, travel, learn and quite simply, live. From the arts to sciences and politics, no field has been untouched.…
The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust: CoolThink@JC Trust Initiated Project

Computational Thinking: I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means
Lorena Barba (2016)
“It’s a basic skill. Right along with the three Rs.” President Obama, on his weekly address just over a month ago, announced the $4-billion Computer Science for All initiative. Reactions quickly spread to make clear that…
What’s the Difference Between Coding and Computational Thinking?
Sheena Vaidyanathan (2016)
In my last EdSurge article, “Computer Science Goes Beyond Coding,” I wrote about the difference between coding and computer science, to help us understand what we mean by phrases like “Teach kids to code” and …
Computational thinking, 10 years later
Jeannette M. Wing (2016)
We have made tremendous progress in injecting computational thinking into research and education of all fields in the last ten years. We still have a ways to go, but fortunately, academia, industry and government forces are aligned toward realizing the vision of making computational thinking commonplace.
A Different Approach to Coding
Mitchel Resnick & David Siegel (2015)
For us, coding is not a set of technical skills but a new type of literacy and personal expression, valuable for everyone, much like learning to write. We see coding as a new way for people to organize, express, and share their ideas.
哪一天編程要從小學學起
經濟日報 – 教育 (2015)
以近年多國提倡的編碼和編寫電腦程式教育為例，有關技能便愈來愈受香港社會重視，如何在推動這方面的教育同時避免埋下另一枚炸彈，值得社會關注。

Evaluation of the CoolThink@JC Pilot: A computational thinking initiative in Hong Kong primary schools
SRI International (2020)
SRI is conducting a rigorous longitudinal study that will evaluate student outcomes and progression in each of these areas, as well as research classroom-level implementation. The study aims to provide formative input to developers to support fine-tuning of pilot lessons, deliver summative measurement of program outcomes, and contribute to the emerging global literature on CT programs…
Coding and Computational Thinking
State of New South Wales (Department of Education) (2019)
This report has been commissioned by the NSW Department of Education’s Education for a Changing World initiative. It investigates the available evidence on the teaching of coding and computational thinking for student outcomes and explores and critiques what works in the implementation of coding and computational thinking within an educational context….
After the reboot: computing education in UK schools
The Royal Society (2017)
This Royal Society report, After the Reboot – Computing Education in UK Schools, explores the challenges and issues facing the subject in primary and secondary schools since the subject was introduced in English schools in 2014….
Computing our future
European Schoolnet (2015)
The challenge for the Education sector is to upskill the future workforce, but more importantly to empower young people with the competences to master and create their own digital technologies, and thrive in the society of today. We believe that teaching and learning how to code…
Report of a workshop on the scope and nature of computational thinking
Hal Abelson (2010)
As the use of computational devices has become widespread, there is a need to understand the scope and impact of what is sometimes called the Information Revolution or the Age of Digital Information. This is particularly apparent in education at all levels.

A principled approach to designing computational thinking concepts and practices assessments for upper elementary grades
Satabdi Basu,Daisy W. Rutstein, Yuning Xu, Haiwen Wang & Linda Shearn (2021)
In today’s increasingly digital world, it is critical that all students learn to think computationally from an early age. Assessments of Computational Thinking (CT) are essential for capturing information about student learning and challenges. When programming is used as a vehicle to foster CT skills, assessment of CT skills needs to measure understanding of programming concepts alongside general problem-solving practices applicable in contexts beyond programming.…
Computational Thinking Education
Siu-Cheung Kong & Harold Abelson (2019)
This book offers a comprehensive guide, covering every important aspect of computational thinking education. It provides an in-depth discussion of computational thinking, including the notion of perceiving computational thinking practices as ways of mapping models from the abstraction of data and process structures to natural phenomena. Further, it explores how computational thinking education is implemented in different regions, and how computational thinking is being integrated into subject learning in K-12 education. In closing, it discusses computational thinking from the perspective of STEM education, the use of video games to teach computational thinking, and how computational thinking is helping to transform the quality of the workforce in the textile and apparel industry.…

Mindstorms: Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas
Seymour Papert (1980)
Just a few years ago people thought of computers as expensive and exotic devices. Their commercial and industrial uses affected ordinary people, but hardly anyone expected computers to become part of day-to-day life. This view has changed dramatically and rapidly as the public has come to accept the reality of the personal computer, small and inexpensive enough to take its place in every living room or even in every breast pocket…
