摘要：Since the emphasis of utilizing ICT in education moves from ICT to Computing in many countries, curriculums adapt the Computational Thinking (CT) teaching as a basic courses not only for primary school but also to CS education. Even though the depth of CT teaching may be different, we may expect similar impact of CT teaching results to student problem solving skills. With this rationale, we opened designed CT based education program for freshman introductory of computer application course. Developed course consists of 10 class hours program and the effectiveness of designed programs have been tested, firstly for improving CT capabilities of learners in problem solving environment, and secondarily the cognitive load changes appeared in the problem solving process have been measured with direct brain wave measurement of EEG while solving problems. The test results showed that designed CT program affected to the improvement of problem solving skill, and also show the tendency of decrease in cognitive overload in the experimental group.
