Today, the necessity of people from different cultures to live together, scientific and technological developments, war and natural disasters affect the human life socially and culturally, making it compulsory for individuals to adapt to this situation. While individuals were trying to adapt to this situation, information started to spread rapidly and reached wide masses. On the other hand, the meaning and value of information has changed. It has become important for individuals to select, analyze and evaluate the rapidly disseminating information and revealed new skill concepts called 21st century skills. In line with these concepts, effective educators in preparing students for changing world conditions should be equipped with key skills consisting of computational thinking steps such as Critical Thinking, Finding Problem Solving Patterns, Developing Algorithms, Building Bridges Between Different Social Environments and Effective Leadership. Because, the computational thinking skills that enable individuals to meet the needs of the century they live, to sustain their lives, to be productive can be gained to a great extent through education.When the education programs of the partner countries are examined in the context of the project, the rationale for the emergence of the project is:- The fact that computational thinking is not fused as a field-specific or interdisciplinary subject in education programs,- The fact that alternative skills for the solution of complex problems cannot be developed due to the easier access to information and the increasing use of technology,- Being asked to be taught of computational thinking skills similar to problem solving and critical thinking skills,- Failure to combine critical thinking skills with powerful digital tools in course curricula,- The fact that as the abilities of individuals improve in the learning process, the concepts to be taught cannot be listed based on algorithm,- The fact the professional competencies of educators cannot be enriched with 21st century skills.Objectives:- Associating cognitive thinking skills with other aspects of the curriculum and /or real life,- Using collaborative working strategies in classroom learning,- Solving daily problems through human-computer cooperation by using various thinking forms that are specific to the field of computer science and not,- Integrating tools to be used in concept teaching with the learning process,- Developing students' computational thinking concept and process skills such as abstraction, algorithmic thinking and problem solving through various learning activities,- Entrepreneurship and Self-Management, Social and Intercultural Interaction, Creativity and Reliability,- Being able to sustain the lives of individuals with computational thinking skills in a more qualified way,- Being able to solve the problems more easily, to look at the events in the environment or the society from different perspectives,-Using information to solve the problem faced, providing information flow from various sources,-Enriching the learning process by providing interdisciplinary transition in education,-Being able to handle computational thinking with an interdisciplinary approach.It will be contributed to the renewal of the learning and teaching process by including computational thinking in educational programs. With this contribution, the competencies of educators and students will be equipped with 21st century skills depending on the enrichment and renewal of the course contents.The project period is 24 months and it will be carried out under the coordination of the Regional Department of Education - Burgas, in cooperation with the Directorate of Secondary Education of Heraklion, Yalova Provincial Directorate of National Education, Vaslui County School Inspectorate, Conselleria De Cultura Educacion e Universidade ( xuntda de Galicia) and Information Strategies Association. In the project; there are intellectual outputs of Discovering Algorithms, Finding Patterns and Developing Algorithms, and learning, teaching, training activities of Computational Thinking and Its Terminologies, Dimensions of Computational Thinking, Implementing Computational Thinking.
