Abstract

The goal of this article is to clarify the meaning of Computational Thinking. We differentiate logical from computational reasoning and discuss the importance of Computational Thinking in solving problems. The three pillars of Computational Thinking - Abstraction, Automation and Analysis - are outlined, highlighting the role of each one in developing the skills needed for the problem-solving process. ----- O objetivo deste artigo \'e esclarecer o significado de Pensamento Computacional. Diferencia-se o racioc\'inio l\'ogico do computacional e discute-se a import\^ancia do Pensamento Computacional na resolu\c{c}\~ao de problemas. Os tr\^es pilares do Pensamento Computacional - Abstra\c{c}\~ao, Automa\c{c}\~ao e An\'alise - s\~ao delineados, destacando-se o papel de cada um deles no desenvolvimento das habilidades necess\'arias para o processo de solu\c{c}\~ao de problemas.
