Cultivating Computational Thinking Among Students Of Liberal Art In Basic Computer Courses

With the concept of Computational Thinking proposed, how to cultivate students' Computational Thinking in basic computer courses has become the focus of basic computer education reform in recent years. Computational Thinking has gradually been recognized by computer educators and has become an important goal of basic computer education. According to the author's experience, the paper analyzes the reasons why students of literal arts also need to acquire Computational Thinking after summarizing the current research status of Computational Thinking at home and abroad. Regarding the cultivation of Computational Thinking ability as a higher level than knowledge learning and skill training, the paper puts forward some improving suggestions on how to cultivate Computational Thinking among students of liberal arts.
