Computational thinking is a problem-solving process used in Computer Science that involves breaking down complex problems into more manageable parts, recognising patterns, abstracting details to identify the core issue, and creating step-by-step algorithms to solve them. It encourages students to think logically and systematically, much like a computer, to design and test solutions effectively. This approach not only helps in programming and developing software but also equips students with a mindset that can be applied to a variety of challenges, making it an essential skill within the GCSE Computer Science curriculum.
