Impact of Computational Thinking and Computer Science (CTCS) Teaching Technique at Seleceted Schools in Sarawak : A Qualitative Analysis

Computational thinking and computer science (CTCS) is an educational approach that involves a four-stage process involving concepts of decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm that promotes greater levels of thinking. Initially exclusive to computer scientists, it has further...
