Abstract

In today's world, the ability to think computationally is essential. The skillset expected of a computer scientist is no longer solely based on the old stereotype but also a crucial skill for adapting to the future. This perspective presents a new educational challenge for society. Everyone must have a positive attitude toward understanding and using these skills daily. One thousand two hundred seven documents about computational thinking (CT) may be found while searching the Scopus database from 1987 to 2023. Data from Scopus were analyzed using VOSviewer software. This study educates academics by delving into the fundamentals of what is known about the CT of visual and quantitative research skills. This approach allows for a more in-depth look at the literature and a better understanding of the research gap in CT. This bibliometrics analysis demonstrates that (1) research on CT is common to all sciences and will develop in the future; (2) the majority of articles on CT are published in journals in the fields of education, engineering, science and technology, computing and the social sciences; (3) the United States is the most dominant country in CT publications with a variety of collaborations; (4) keywords that often appear are CT, engineering, education, and mathematics, and (5) research on CT has developed significantly since 2013. Our investigation reveals the beginnings and progression of the academic field of research into CT. Furthermore, it offers a road map indicating how this study area will expand in the coming years.
映射计算思维在教育中的演变:1987 - 2023年Scopus数据库的文献计量学分析
在当今世界,计算思维的能力是必不可少的。人们对计算机科学家的期望不再仅仅基于陈旧的刻板印象,而是一项适应未来的关键技能。这种观点给社会带来了新的教育挑战。每个人都必须以积极的态度来理解和使用这些技能。从1987年到2023年,在Scopus数据库中检索到一千二百七十七篇关于计算思维(CT)的文献。使用VOSviewer软件对Scopus数据进行分析。这项研究通过深入研究视觉和定量研究技能的CT已知的基础知识来教育学者。这种方法可以更深入地研究文献,更好地理解CT的研究差距。本文的文献计量学分析表明:(1)CT研究是所有科学的共性,并将在未来得到发展;(2) CT相关文章主要发表在教育、工程、科技、计算机和社会科学等领域的期刊上;(3)美国是CT出版物数量最多的国家,合作文献种类繁多;(4)经常出现的关键词是CT、工程、教育和数学;(5)2013年以来,CT研究有了显著发展。我们的调查揭示了CT学术研究领域的开端和进展。此外,它还提供了一个路线图,表明这一研究领域将如何在未来几年扩大。

期刊介绍: INFORMATICS IN EDUCATION publishes original articles about theoretical, experimental and methodological studies in the fields of informatics (computer science) education and educational applications of information technology, ranging from primary to tertiary education. Multidisciplinary research studies that enhance our understanding of how theoretical and technological innovations translate into educational practice are most welcome. We are particularly interested in work at boundaries, both the boundaries of informatics and of education. The topics covered by INFORMATICS IN EDUCATION will range across diverse aspects of informatics (computer science) education research including: empirical studies, including composing different approaches to teach various subjects, studying availability of various concepts at a given age, measuring knowledge transfer and skills developed, addressing gender issues, etc. statistical research on big data related to informatics (computer science) activities including e.g. research on assessment, online teaching, competitions, etc. educational engineering focusing mainly on developing high quality original teaching sequences of different informatics (computer science) topics that offer new, successful ways for knowledge transfer and development of computational thinking machine learning of student''s behavior including the use of information technology to observe students in the learning process and discovering clusters of their working design and evaluation of educational tools that apply information technology in novel ways.
