| Computational thinking can be defined as a way of understanding problem-solving, system design and also human behavior through the basic concepts of computer science. In today’s information age, computational thinking skills are expected to exist among the commonly used basic skills such as reading, writing, logical thinking and mathematics. The main aim of this study, within this context, is to emphasize the significance of computational thinking and examine the computational thinking skills of high school students with regard to the variables of the type of high school, class level and gender. The sample of the research, which was designed in accordance with descriptive survey model, consisted of a total of 445 students from three different high schools and the research was conducted in the Fall Term of the 2016-17 school year. The Computational Thinking Skills Scale was used to collect the data. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for the statistical calculations. The results of the study indicate that high school students consider their computational thinking skills to be sufficient at a medium level. The results also suggest that the computational thinking levels of the students display a meaningful difference with respect to the type of the high school they attend. However, no meaningful relation was found to exist between the computational thinking skills of the students and the variable of class level or gender.© 2018 IOJES. All rights reserved |
