A thorough search in electronic databases revealed  \n96 studies on computational thinking which were published between 2006 and 2016.  \nStudies were exposed to a quantitative content analysis through using an article control form developed by the researchers. Studies were summarized under several themes including the research purpose, design, methodology, sampling characteristics, data analysis, and main findings. The findings were reported using descriptive statistics to seethe trends. It was observed that there was an increase in the number of CT studies in recent years, and these were mainly conducted in the field of computer sciences. In addition, CT studies were mostly published in journals in the field of Education and Instructional Technologies. Theoretical paradigm and literature review design were preferred more in previous studies. The most commonly used sampling method was the purposive sampling. It was also revealed that samples of previous CT studies were generally pre-college students. Written data collection tools and quantitative analysis were mostly used in reviewed papers. Findings mainly focused on CT skills. Based on current findings, recommendations and implications for further researches were provided.  \nKeywords: Computational thinking; Research trends; Content analysis; Problem solving  \nIntroduction  \nIndividuals take on several social roles within the rapid flow of daily life and need to fulfill a variety of responsibilities. Contemporary opportunities to access information increase the speed of production and sharing of information which both facilitates and accelerates such responsibilities. The intertwined social roles in such a hectic world complicate the problems of living together. This transition introduced a transformation in effective thinking and decisionmaking processes as well. Thus, Computational Thinking (CT) skills constitute an essential trait in actively resolving the problems contemporary individuals face (Denning, 2009; Guzdial, 2008; ISTE, 2016; Wing, Henderson, Hazzan, & Cortina, 2005; Wing, 2006) .  \nThe first definition attempts for CT became prominent in early 1900s, which were expressed within the context of algorithmic thinking processes and cognitive problem formulation (Denning, 2009) . In 1996, the term CT was proposed by Papert (1996), followed by the studies of Jeannette Wing (2006) . Then, it became a topic of popular interest in scientific circles gradually (Selby, 2014) . Although there is not a universal consensus on CT frameworks in the literature, several definition attempts exist (Barr & Stephenson, 2011; Grover & Pea, 2013) . For instance, Wing (2006) defined CT as a solution to real life problems through utilizing information technologies whenever necessary. In addition, Guzdial (2008) defined CT as a general problem-solving process based on abstraction, analysis, automation, and modeling. ISTE and CSTA (2011) defined CT as a set of skills that includes the processes of analyzing an encountered problem, logical organization of the data obtained through such analyses, expression of the organized data as models, determination of the solutions through algorithmic thinking, selection of the most adequate ones among the determined solutionsand the transfer of the selected solutions to new cases. Above definitions demonstrate that CT was based on a systematic approach to solve complex problems. Since complex problem solving skills could be employed in several fields, it was mentioned in the literature that CT could be effective in the fields of arche","cbCaii6hM2xnZXuX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii6hM2xnZXuX","pdf",592577,23,"English","# Introduction\n## Computational thinking background and definitions\n## Research areas and educational applications\n## Research purpose and need for trend analysis","[{\"question\":\"What databases were used to index computational thinking studies in this review?\",\"answer\":\"The review used Web of Science (WOS) and ERIC databases to identify eligible computational thinking studies.\"},{\"question\":\"How many computational thinking studies were found, and what publication period do they cover?\",\"answer\":\"Ninety-six studies were identified, published between 2006 and 2016.\"},{\"question\":\"Which themes were analyzed across the reviewed studies?\",\"answer\":\"The analysis covered research purpose, design, methodology, sampling characteristics, data analysis, and main findings, summarized through quantitative content analysis.\"}]","Publication Trends Over 10 Years of Computational Thinking - Research | PDF",1792089599,58]
