Conceptualizing Computational Thinking Pedagogical Content Knowledge

• In Event: Teachers’ technology PD and behaviors

Short Description

For computational thinking (CT) to fully integrate across K-12 curriculum, teachers need guidance for incorporating CT. We defined CT-related knowledge and skills for teachers in various subject areas. Drawing on the notion of pedagogical content knowledge, we conducted a systematic literature review, resulting in a conceptual model of computational thinking pedagogical content knowledge (CT PCK) that can guide CT-related instructional practices in STEM+C classrooms, evaluation of teachers' CT PCK, and design of teacher professional development.
