Aman Yadav is a Professor of Educational Psychology and Educational Technology in the College of Education at Michigan State University, USA.
Ulf Dalvad Berthelsen is an Associate Professor in the School of Communication and Culture at Aarhus University, Denmark.
"As computational thinking becomes part of compulsory education,
school systems will be considering how it fits into the system as a
whole. This book uniquely offers a system-wide view of
computational thinking, from preparing teachers to choosing
computational thinking instruction to implementing a district
strategy. It provides an excellent opportunity to learn from top
educators and researchers in the field about their perspectives of
the implementation and future of computational thinking."
—Lauren Margulieux, Assistant Professor and Computer Science
Endorsement Director at Georgia State University, USA
"As computer science education moves into school classrooms around
the globe, this book addresses central questions of what
computational thinking should mean in K-12 education. The
contributing chapters address critical issues in district
initiatives, teacher professional development, student assessment,
and subject matter integration."
—Yasmin B. Kafai, Lori and Michael Milken President’s Distinguished
Professor at University of Pennsylvania, USA
"Currently, the prevailing belief in most countries is that a
compulsory education in computer science is indispensable for all
children and young people in order to enable them to lead
autonomous, self-determined and responsible lives in the
information society. Computational thinking represents the
currently best-known and most widely accepted didactical approach
to this end. This book finally offers a comprehensive analysis of
the pedagogical aspects of this approach, which is urgently needed
for implementation in schools. It is a must-read for all
researchers and practitioners who are serious about computational
thinking."
—Peter Hubwieser, Professor for Computer Science Education at the
Technical University of Munich, Germany"This is a great, essential
book for a field that is both fresh and long-established. Some of
itsauthors are among the world's most esteemed researchers in the
field, and others are emerging with exiting new ideas. The book
addresses a wealth of very important issues, from questions about
the raison d'etre altogether of teaching computational thinking to
innovative considerations of hard-nosed problems of how to prepare
pre- and in-service teachers for the task. I highly recommend this
book to everyone interested in the broad field of technology in
education."
—Jeppe Bundsgaard, Professor of Education in the Danish School of
Education at Aarhus University, Denmark
