Abstract
Computational thinking is a relatively new concept that emerged at the
beginning of this century and has quickly become popular motivated to its main
premise: all people can use computer skills to solve problems in other areas.
This concept is relevant because solving problems is one of the necessary
skills of the 21st century. Currently, the idea that the development of
computational thinking is directly related to the learning of computer
programming is maintained, for this reason, the efforts to promote
computational thinking have been oriented towards the inclusion of introductory
programming courses in the curricula of educational systems. However,
considering that learning programming is widely known for presenting various
difficulties, it is necessary to reflect on other ways for the development of
computational thinking. In this sense, the purpose of this essay is to present
reflections that lead to a proposal based on metacognition, for the development
of computational thinking during the execution of activities of daily life.
Keywords: thinking; skills; problem solving; everyday life.
