Computational Thinking (CT) skills in Dutch secondary computer science (CS) education.
The first phase of the project investigates the occurrence and nature of typical CT aspects in
existing CS teaching materials, teacher's pedagogical content knowledge and policy
documents. In the poster we focus on the overall research design and on the method and …

The first phase of the project investigates the occurrence and nature of typical CT aspects in existing CS teaching materials, teacher's pedagogical content knowledge and policy documents. In the poster we focus on the overall research design and on the method and preliminary results of the first phase.
