By Peter J. Denning and Matti Tedre. published 2014, avg rating 4.38 — An introduction to computational thinking that traces a genealogy beginning centuries before the digital computer. published 2017, avg rating 3.92 — An introduction to computational thinking that traces a genealogy beginning centuries before the digital computer. 691 ratings — 2 ratings — Along the way, they debunk inflated claims for CT and computation while making clear the power of CT in all its complexity and multiplicity. 76 ratings — It is volume 10 of “Texts in Computing” of College Publications. 61 ratings — A few decades into the digital era, scientists discovered that thinking in terms of computation made possible an entirely new way of organizing scientific investigation; eventually, every field had a computational branch: computational physics, computational biology, computational sociology. Today we publish over 30 titles in the arts and humanities, social sciences, and science and technology. Small Arrow. published 2014, avg rating 4.25 — The thirteen chapters start with an explanation of what is computational thinking, move through logical and algorithmic thinking, abstraction and modelling, to then focus on how to apply these concepts. published 2016, avg rating 4.22 — 10,566 ratings — published, avg rating 4.03 — 13,468 ratings — avg rating 4.31 — Welcome back. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible overview, tracing a genealogy that begins centuries before digital computers and portraying computational thinking as pioneers of computing have described it. 175 ratings — The authors identify six dimensions of today's highly developed CT—methods, machines, computing education, software engineering, computational science, and design—and cover each in a chapter. Mathematically trained experts (known as “computers”) who performed complex calculations as teams engaged in CT long before electronic computers. MIT Press began publishing journals in 1970 with the first volumes of Linguistic Inquiry and the Journal of Interdisciplinary History. published, avg rating 3.95 — published 2015, avg rating 4.18 — More recently, “computational thinking” has become part of the K–12 curriculum. 40 ratings — Computational Thinking.

But what is computational thinking? published, avg rating 4.27 — 721 ratings — 240 ratings — I would recommend “Foundations of Logic and Theory of Computation”, 2nd edition, 2012, Sernadas team. The authors explain that computational thinking (CT) is not a set of concepts for programming; it is a way of thinking that is honed through practice: the mental skills for designing computations to do jobs for us, and for explaining and interpreting the world as a complex of information processes. published, avg rating 3.88 — : A Cognitive Scientist Answers Questions About How the Mind Works and What It Means for the Classroom (Hardcover), Understanding How We Learn: A Visual Guide (Paperback), Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning (ebook), Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning (Hardcover), A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra), Hello Ruby: Adventures in Coding (Hardcover), Invent To Learn: Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroom (Paperback), Books on Evidence-Based Teaching and Learning.
