Computational thinking in elementary school teachers: a systematic review

Computational Thinking has been booming in education in recent years, becoming part of the educational plans of many countries. In recent research, primary school teachers claimed not to have received the necessary training on how to develop this discipline in their classrooms. In this article, a total of 14 studies are reviewed and analyzed based on the relationship of the variables Computational Thinking, Digital Competence, Primary Education, and teacher training and their terminological derivatives in publications indexed in WOS, Scopus, and ERIC from 2012 to 2022. To answer the different research questions posed, the conclusions indicate the necessity of implementing this training compulsorily because of the numerous digital innovations that we are living in the so-called Knowledge Society.
