Abstract

With the dissemination of the term Computational Thinking, the interest of the scientific and educational community in the topic grew considerably, being discussed around the world by groups, networks and educational programs. This article presents the results of a systematic survey of the literature that identified groups that work with a focus on the dissemination of Computational Thinking in Brazil and in the world considering the period from 2012 to 2022. The results obtained portray the current panorama of groups that promote Computational Thinking, classifying them according to the target audience and the methods applied, evidencing the interest and importance in creating groups with this focus in the current context of education.

Keywords: Computational thinking, Classification, Groups
