Direct linkBowers, Jonathan; Eidin, Emanuel; Damelin, Daniel; McIntyre, Cynthia – Science Teacher, 2022
The COVID-19 crisis has demonstrated the importance of being able to understand complex computational models for everyday life. To make sense of the evolving predictive models of the COVID-19 pandemic, global citizens need to have a firm grasp of both systems thinking (ST) and computational thinking (CT). ST is the ability to understand a problem…
