 COMPUTATIONAL THINKING

CT is an approach to solving a
problem that empowers the
integration of digital
technologies with human ideas.
 What is Computational Thinking?
Computational thinking is the thought
processes involved in formulating a problem
and expressing its solution(s) in such a way
that a computerhuman or machinecan
effectively carry out
 Computational Thinking is an iterative process
based on three stages (captured by the figure
to the right):
1. Problem formulation (abstraction);
2. Solution expression (automation);
3. Solution execution and evaluation (analyses).
DIGITAL LITERACY
A digitally literate person will
possess a range of digital skills,
knowledge of the basic principles
of computing devices, skills in
using computer networks, an
ability to engage in online
communities and social networks
while adhering to behavioral
protocols, be able to find, capture
and evaluate information,
understanding of the societal
issues raised by digital
technologies (such as big data),
and possess critical thinking skills.

 What is Digital Literacy?
Digital literacy is the ability to find, evaluate,
utilize, share, and create content using
information technologies and the Internet.
Digital literacy is an important topic because
technology is changing faster than society is.
 Middle Years Programme (MYP)
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle
Years Programme (MYP) emphasizes
intellectual challenge.
It encourages students aged 11 to 16 to make
practical connections between their studies
and the real world, preparing them for success
in further study and in life.
 What the MYP offers students?
The MYP aims to develop active learners and
internationally minded young people who can
empathize with others and pursue lives of
purpose and meaning.
The programme empowers students to inquire
into a wide range of issues and ideas of
significance locally, nationally and globally.
The result is young people who are creative,
critical and reflective thinkers.
