The conceptual framework of computational thinkingThe Fourth Industrial Revolution radically changes the system of abilities and skills expected of the citizen of the 21st century. As priorities are shifted from knowledge to competence heretofore unseen demands emerge at the labour market. One of thecurrent priorities is the improvement of STEM competences, that is, the acquisition of knowledge and skills related to (S)cience, (T)echnology, (E)ngineering, and (M)athematics via interdisciplinary and transversal instruction schemes. According to experts the demand related to STEM competences and skills is expected to increase. Analysts forecast a 3% overall growth in employment in the EU until 2020, and this figure could reach up to 9% in STEM-impacted professions (Szegedi, 2014). Simultaneously computational thinking (Wing, 2008) is gaining increasing popularity as an umbrella term for the aforementioned four areas. Subscribing to a deductive approach utilizing a specifically elaborated criteria system, I explore various interpretations of the given concept in the international community. Furthermore, I will analyse the respective manifestations in the DigComp 2.1. framework system (Carretero, Vuorikari & Punie, 2017) approved by the European Union. This effort is a preliminary stage for further inquiry into the domestic situation especially the examination of the documentation of specific education management initiatives [MDOS, 2016 (Digital Education Strategy of Hungary); NAT (NationalCurriculum) 2018]. In the next phase of my research I will explore computation thinking-related attitudes in teacher training by the combined paradigm method (Sántha, 2014) My research tools include a self-developed measurement device along with questionnaires and interviews as well.https://doi.org/10.31915/NWS.2019.23
