The contemporary world is increasingly focused on digital and in schools it couldn’t be any different. The education system already has activities full of programming, robotics and even artificial intelligence. But the great advantage is using such resources in classes to encourage computational thinking. And adopting it into the curriculum means developing analytical skills, creativity, digital inclusion and boosting student employability.
The essence of computational dynamics involves issues related to the application of computational techniques and algorithmic principles to solve complex problems efficiently and effectively. However, when it comes to applying this direction in the school curriculum, it is completely focused on stimulating logical and structured reasoning, in order to encourage students to practice decomposing problems into smaller parts, in addition to mapping clear routes, identifying patterns, abstract unimportant details and create good solutions.
The benefits above already make the presence of computational thinking extremely necessary in school activities. And the experts at e.ducar also remember other points that further enrich education. Applicability in different disciplines is one of them. After all, such thinking is not restricted exclusively to disciplines focused on computing. In fact, it is completely interdisciplinary, it can be integrated into various disciplines, such as mathematics, science, languages and arts, encouraging students to approach problems in an analytical and systematic way. It is a way of developing orderly, logical and creative reasoning. But the interdisciplinary approach to the curriculum is a challenge in many schools, as it requires strong collaboration between different areas of knowledge.
Another important issue is digital inclusion, since adopting such thinking digitally integrates students and inserts them into the new contemporary reality. The experts at e.ducar also emphasize that it is essential to understand communication with innovations, principles of logic and other analytical issues as fundamental for the strong and structured development of students. In the Edtech Brasil IA project, by e.ducar, for example, there is a system with simulations, videos, animations and interactivity tools between students, teachers and content. The technology helps monitor the development of skills and proposes personalized routes that make the student environment open to creative and collaborative learning, stimulating computational thinking.
Presence in the job market
A school with activities that encourage computational thinking will have students with a strategic focus always focused on creating good solutions. And this is very advantageous when it comes to advancing in the job market. Professionals with this profile are generally more valued and are able to take on significant roles in companies, especially in moments of strong connection with new technologies.
Furthermore, having innovative and creative potential is always very interesting for those seeking the world of entrepreneurship. This is because opening a business involves strategic issues closely related to logical reasoning. So, those who have dynamic and well-founded thinking will have strong advantages, as well as a great chance of achieving the best results.
