- 1computational thinkingComputational Thinking (CT) is a problem solving process that includes a number of characteristics and dispositions. ... Formulating problems in a way that enables us to use a computer and other tools to help solve them. Logically organizing and analyzing data.
- 2abstractionAbstraction is one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. ... Abstraction is the process of filtering out – ignoring - the characteristics of patterns that we don't need in order to concentrate on those that we do. It is also the filtering out of specific details.
- 3DecompositionDecomposition is one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. It involves breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller parts that are more manageable and easier to understand. The smaller parts can then be examined and solved, or designed individually, as they are simpler to work with.
- 4algorithmic thinkingAlgorithmic thinking is a way of getting to a solution through the clear definition of the steps needed – nothing happens by magic. Rather than coming up with a single answer to a problem, like 42, pupils develop algorithms. ... The power of algorithmic thinking is that it allows solutions to be automated.
