Here is a recent blog article I drafted. Comments welcome from this list.
One of the problems we face in Computer Science education is that
"seeing" in a way some computer scientists view the world may not
be as solid as we would like. The emphasis in coding, while well
intentioned, veers away from a more fundamental understanding that
is grounded in modeling (my opinion and thrust)
http://creative-automata.com/2014/01/29/lighting-the-computational-future/
It may be that computer scientists for the most part may not view the world
like this, however, since to train for thinking in this manner requires systems
thinking/science/engineering. This systems approach is not comprehensively
taught in most CS programs. The field a whole contains systems thinking, but
I am unsure how most CS programs deal with it. This is a difficult topic and
will require more research on how "systems thinking" is taught and where.
