【 摘 要 】

Computational Thinking (CT) is not just another application of computer science principles in humans' life. Computational Thinking has emerged as a systematic way of thinking, and problem-solving process. The awareness of inculcating CT into education, at different curricular level has started in various directions, and contexts. The article aimed to introduce the basic concepts of CT and highlight common key features within K-12 education frameworks, deployed by different bodies. Computational thinking is closely relatedto critical thinking, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning, as well as project-based learning. From the review, various computational thinking definitions and key features within education frameworks were identified, and this contributed in how computational thinking is being integrated in different context, respectively.
