Febrero 2018.2255-5706http://repositorio.grial.eu/handle/grial/1184Computational thinking is a cognitive process that allows generating solutions to problems through the use of skills such as abstraction, decomposition and algorithmic design. This paper presents a proposal for evaluating the computational thinking of new students, to relate knowledge indicated in the subject Methodology of Programming and to offer an initial environment of learning. The article describes exercises selected to evaluated skills indicated above, and correspondence between contents of the course; using a qualitative methodology, experience of 65 students was evaluated. Results obtained not only favor activity carried out, they also indicated improvements for future generations.esComputational thinkingComputer programming courseHigher educationNew studentsProgramming learningArticle
