Computational thinking in the context of higher education: Analytical review by E. K. Khenner

“…Except for several fundamentally important works of general studies, which reveal the concept of “com­putational thinking”, the author analysed mainly review articles published in the past five years in order to identify and systematise modern solutions related to the purpose of the work.Results and scientific novelty. An analysis of the basic concepts associated with computational think­ing showed that at the level of definitions, due to their certain abstractness, the computational think­ing of university students does not have much specificity compared to the computational thinking of schoolchildren. …”
