41.049 - Stories From the Field: Integrating Computational Thinking Across Curricular Domains
Sat, April 29, 8:15 to 9:45am, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 221 DSession Type: Structured Poster Session
Abstract
Scholars argue that students should be exposed to computation across the curriculum. Wing (2006) noted that computational thinking (CT) “is a fundamental skill for everyone,” and explained CT is thinking recursively, parallel processing, and “interpreting code as data and data as code” (p. 33). But what does this look like in an elementary math class, high school science project, or undergraduate statistics assignment? This session brings together research exploring CT integration across curricular domains and stages of education. Employing a range of scales and methodologies, these posters provide a context for participants to consider: (1) What are developmental trajectories of CT across disciplines and ages?, and (2) Should CT be a unique goal or a practice infused in other disciplines?
