This chapter introduces the research aim of this thesis and outlines its content. First, we give a brief overview of computer science education and look at computational thinking (CT) and its relation to computer science (CS). We introduce four components of content specific pedagogy as a lens through which we look at teaching CT and then motivate and explicate our research questions. Finally, we present the overview of the thesis.
