Abstract | Computer science (CS) education helps students acquire skills such as computational thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. Since these skills take preeminence in the rapidly changing 21st century, CS education promises to significantly enhance student preparedness for the future of work and active citizenship. CS education can also reduce skills inequality if education systems make a concerted effort to ensure that all students have equitable access to curricula that provide them with the needed breadth of skills--regardless of their gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Based on prior analyses and expert consultations, the authors selected 11 CS-education country, state, and provincial case studies with lessons that can broadly apply to other education systems. This particular study examines how Chile is training a future workforce of creative problem-solvers to maintain its status as one of the higher-income countries in Latin America. To accomplish this goal, the Ministry of Education designed the National Plan for Digital Languages to prepare students to compete in an increasingly digital global economy. Now in the early stages of implementing this plan, the government seeks to increase the number of students learning about CS and computational thinking in the coming years. (ERIC). |
