Computational Thinking Pathway

This document outlines the five computational thinking progress outcomes (CTPO1-5) for developing computational thinking skills. CTPO1 involves giving step-by-step instructions and debugging non-computer tasks. CTPO2 expands to include simple algorithms for computer and non-computer tasks using programming environments. CTPO3 focuses on developing and debugging computer programs using logical thinking and understanding data representation. CTPO4 addresses programming concepts like sequence, selection, iteration, inputs/outputs, and debugging efficiency. CTPO5 involves independently decomposing problems, using complex programming concepts and data types, and considering human-computer interaction.
