碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 資訊教育研究所 === 103 === The objective of this study is to design a computational thinking curriculum standard for K-12 education. The Delphi technique was employed to collect different views and derive consensus from a panel of thirteen experts, including computer scientists, computer science educators, K-12 computer teachers, and industry experts. The first draft of Delphi survey questionnaire consists of nine themes (problem solving, problem decomposition, algorithms, data representation, data analysis, modeling and simulation, abstraction, automation and others) and 60 competence indicators, was developed based on our investigation of the nature of computational thinking. After three-rounds of survey and a final round-table discussion, the expert panel derived 49 essential competence indicators (13 for grades K to 6, nine of grades 7 to 9 and 27 of grades 10 to 12) and eight optional competence indicators (one for grades 7 to 9 and seven for grade 10 to 12). The results serve as useful references for developing Taiwan’s new K-12 computing curriculum.
