Abstract: Abstract The very rapid development of computers discipline and software discipline has changed various fields of society and nature. Meanwhile, they also extend knowledge space constantly. Hence, the question how to cultivate students has become a key issue for all the educational researchers in computer, software and related disciplines. Currently, more and more people pay attention to a new concept “computational thinking” and study what it brings to computer and software education. Firstly, this article briefly describes computational thinking. Then, we propose a multi-dimensional observation framework of computational thinking-computation tree. Finally, we explore its impact on software engineering education.
