Resumen
We live in a society in which digitalisation is part of it. After years of instrumental stances towards the mere use of technology, it seems that we have understood and assumed that digital compe- tence, understood as the critical, safe and responsible use of digital technologies in all areas of life, is in- dispensable to be part of citizenship. It also seems to be increasingly important to develop computational thinking, understood as an approach to problem-solving and systems design that combines concepts and techniques from computer science with ways of thinking from other disciplines. The aim of this paper is to make explicit the need to work on digital competence and computational thinking in compulsory education, as a lever to form a community of citizens capable of taking a critical stance on the use of dig- ital technologies and, more broadly, on a society with a technological and digital base. To this end, the fundamentals of computational thinking (decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction and algorithm design) are proposed as the basis of the strategy for working on different areas of digital competence.
