Computational thinking skills in elementary school children using 4.0 technologies: a bibliometric analysis
Habilidades de pensamiento computacional en niños y niñas de las escuelas primarias utilizando tecnologías 4.0: un análisis bibliométrico
Main Article Content
Digital development has facilitated the development of technology education. This paper analyzes scientific literature on the impact of computational thinking in children. This thinking formed since childhood allows the use of technology and the development of systems that manage solutions to problems. Every day more and more scientists and educational institutions are talking about this subject, observing that topics focused on the construction of logical distinctions are being included in the academic curriculum in order to strengthen knowledge in this area. The objective is to present an analysis of different publications related to computational thinking in primary education; for this purpose, the data were collected from the Scopus database and analyzed with the VOSviewer software, 625 results were found filtered with the following search: [computational AND thinking] AND [children OR childhood]. The analysis allows identifying the most relevant authors, countries with more publications, annual growth rate, types of documents, sponsoring institutions, among others. All these scientific references show the practical and conceptual increase found in computational thinking as a way for the formation of information and communication technologies in early childhood education, thus achieving a new digital literacy.
