Computational thinking, digital literacy, digital competence, 21st century education, education and pandemicAbstract
Education has the task of preparing individuals for the challenges, needs and opportunities of a globalized world; now with technology permeating human activities, traditional learning theories without recognizing elements of digital literacy (behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism). They demand changes of thought and even more so with the presence of COVID-19, a pandemic that promoted social physical isolation; increasing the need to master digital scenarios. The foregoing highlights computational thinking, as an effective strategy applied with the model presented by MIT-Harvard, with a defined theoretical framework and applied since 2012. The objective of the research is to diagnose the level of training of computational thinking skills to solve problems; and establish, from a quantitative study with a non-experimental transectional design, the correlation between: the conceptual, practical and computational perspective dimensions, with the development of computational thinking skills to solve problems, implemented in a public school in Colombia with 133 high school students. The diagnostic instrument, validated and categorized by 32 problems, measures the skills to generate competencies, with similarities to the Colombian educational system that promotes learning with: knowing, knowing how to do and knowing how to be; The above is consolidated as inputs for the generation of a virtual learning ecosystem.
