Treffer: Trends and Impacts of Artificial Intelligence Application in the Development of Computational Thinking Skills.

This study aims to provide a descriptive and bibliometric analysis of the trend of artificial intelligence (AI) application in the development of computational thinking (CT) skills in publications from 2007 to 2024. A total of 191 articles were obtained from Scopus database with certain keywords, and analyzed using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer. The results show that publications fluctuated in 2007–2014, then increased sharply since 2019, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.8% in the period 2019–2024. Early publications received the highest number of citations, such as in 2007 (18 citations), while recent studies show a more even distribution of citations, reflecting a shift from basic to applied research. This analysis highlights the important role of AI in enhancing CT development through learning strategies, educational technology, and cross-disciplines. The impact of AI implementation is seen in various aspects of education, such as learning strategies, educational media, and the relationship between CT and other skills. These findings demonstrate the importance of leveraging AI to support the development of CT in education, which can improve the quality of learning and enrich educational experiences globally.
