Session Type: Roundtable Session
Computational Thinking (CT) has become an area of growing interest for education scholars and practitioners alike. This symposium convenes a group of esteemed practitioners and researchers to contribute a selection of papers that focus on the current theoretical and practical debates in the CT field. The interactive panel session we propose will begin with a general introduction to the prominence of CT in education practice today, with our five authors then presenting their papers on a broad array of topics concerned with the design and implementation of CT-infused teacher training approaches. This will be followed by comments from our discussant and we will then open the floor for comments, questions and discussion.
