‘CTIntegration’: A Conceptual Framework Guiding Design and Analysis of Integration of Computing and Computational Thinking Into School Subjects
Shuchi Grover
Abstract
A growing number of researchers and educators are working on integrating computing and computational thinking (CT) into various K-12 subjects. This conceptual paper motivates the need for and presents a comprehensive framework (CTIntegration) to guide educators and researchers aiming to design for integration. The paper elaborates on the interconnected elements of domain, computing and CT we well as pedagogy, that must be attended to. It also demonstrates the use of the framework as an analytic tool to examine three case studies of recent CT integration efforts.
