ABSTRACT

Through a review of the concept of computational thinking and the current state of education, this article derives the essential connotations of computational thinking that should be cultivated in university mathematics teaching. It explores three main approaches to fostering computational thinking among college students: constructing classroom teaching scenarios, cultivating computational thinking through immersive learning modes, developing computational thinking in problem-solving, and fostering computational thinking through project-based learning. These approaches provide valuable references for reforming university mathematics teaching methods in the era of artificial intelligence.
