Review Computational Thinking in obligationulsory Education – JRC (2022)

In recent years, basic skills for all, not only for computer scientists, have proven to be basic skills. Despite increasing uptake, a number of challenges and challenges arise in the context of effective integration of counter-terrorism skills into compulsory education. This report updates and disseminates the findings of the 2016 CompuThink study and provides an updated overview in 22 EU Member States and eight non-EU countries.  It also provides a comprehensive summary of evidence, including 11 policy and practice recommendations.

The study focused on some key issues related to the integration of counter-terrorism skills into compulsory education:

• What is the current state of integration of the fight against terrorism into compulsory education systems in the EU?

• What are the essential characteristics of the fight against terrorism and its relationship with computer science, computer science and computing?

• How are CT skills developed and assessed in compulsory education in the EU?

• How can IT education in the EU be improved?

The study gathered a wide range of evidence from a systematic literature review, a survey with representatives of ministries of education, two online consultation events and through in-depth case studies in nine European countries involving semi-structured interviews (with experts, policy makers, school leaders, teachers) and thematic groups (with students).
