Computational thinking involves the process of working with
abstractions which can hold a very close relationship with inquiry based
skills. For while computational thinking considers multiple levels of abstractions,
inquiry takes those abstractions and decomposes them through investigation, questioning,
skepticism, and criticism. With that in mind, can the Three R's of
lower-leveled education (Reading, Writing, Arithmetic) be amended to include,
for lack of the best term, THINKING, a form of thinking that encompasses both a
computational mentality using inquiry based skills?
