Both types of thinking are part of the core of Mathematics and Computer Science. Algebraic Thinking is linked to acquiring the ability to represent and generalize patterns in any application area. Furthermore, the ability to communicate a mathematical argument, using the necessary language and symbolism, is a skill that is dependent on training in this type of thinking. Although Algebraic Thinking can be developed at different levels, and it is also developed at university levels, more and more countries see it as a basic mode of thought that should be encouraged from early childhood education. Algebraic Thinking has also a close relationship with Computational Thinking, and they are currently united in different situations, such as the international PISA student evaluation tests. We argue in this paper that this is a transversal competence that can be practiced in any subject and at any age. Sometimes combined with the process of teaching Mathematics. It is essential, in our opinion, to strengthen the inclusion of strategies that encourage students to reflect deeply on the concepts, theories, and applications they are learning, giving rise, among others, to number sense and abstraction. In this paper, we present the implementation of these two types of thinking, algebraic and computational, in the pre-university curriculum, particularly in Spain, within a European project. In this project, we seek to create more appropriate learning approaches for those who are often disadvantaged and help them to take advantage of Computational Thinking and Algebraic Thinking and, therefore, STEM knowledge, helping to a stronger and more equal society. We analyze its status and its relationship with the concepts taught in the different courses, although focusing on the subject of Mathematics.

Intelligence, observation, memory, motivation, effective pedagogical methods, and a quality teaching approach are key to the learning process. Our research has focused on the learning characteristics of 9-14 year olds, with particular attention to the importance of empirical experience at this age. We identified a number of pedagogical methods in the literature that promote the learning effectiveness of this age group, including the "CS Unplugged" for teaching computer science, which aims to provide instruction without digital tools. Furthermore, in our survey of six countries, we found that unplugged methods are widely used in lower grades (grades 3-4), but are less common in grades 5-8, which may limit students' understanding of the interrelationships between systems.

To adapt to our technical environment and new technologies, people need special skills and thinking methods. One such method is Computational Thinking (CT), which is a cognitive skill set essential for problem-solving and navigating the complexities of the digital age. Rooted in principles from computer science, it involves the ability to break down complex problems into manageable parts, recognize patterns, and design systematic and algorithmic solutions. Computational Thinking transcends coding proficiency, emphasizing logical reasoning, abstraction, and algorithmic problem-solving applicable across various disciplines. The escalating demand for professions requiring competence in scientific knowledge coupled with IT proficiency underscores a paradigm shift in the employment landscape. Considering this transformative trajectory, the cultivation of proficient professionals is not to be confined to the university level; rather, the initiation of developmental processes at an early age is imperative. This article elucidates the pivotal role of IT and Algebraic Thinking in the educational milieu, describing various developmental prospects. The discourse extends to examining the curricular frameworks of six European countries and that of the State of California, scrutinizing their integration of Computational and Algebraic Thinking. Algebraic Thinking in math education is as important as CT is in computer science. Algebraic Thinking imparts students with the skills to solve abstract problems and fosters the development of mathematical intuition. Understanding symbolic representations, equations, and algebraic structures enhances the cultivation of analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. The synergy between Computational and Algebraic Thinking is particularly relevant in educational contexts. LA - English DB - MTMT ER -
