Computational thinking (CT) has started to attract attention as an important research topic in recent years. It is important to describe the CT field in detail and to determine the research interests and trends of studies in this field. In this most comprehensive and first topic modeling based study in the field of CT, it was aimed to determine the current situation and research interests and trends in the articles on CT from past to present. For this aim, articles containing the term “computational thinking” in the title, keywords and abstract were retrieved by a search on January 18, 2022 from Scopus database. As a result of the search, a total of 1083 articles related to CT published in the Scopus database as of the end of 2021 were obtained. The bibliometric analysis findings of the study showed that there has been a significant increase in the number of publications in this field, especially since 2015. Studies are mostly of United States origin. Although the studies are interdisciplinary, they have been published mainly in journals in the field of educational technologies. The topic modeling analysis showed that the articles in this field were grouped under 13 topics. The first three of these topics, in order of volume, are “Game based learning”, “Programming skills” and “Early child coding”, respectively. When the acceleration of the topics is examined, the first three, whose weight increased over time compared to other topics, came to the fore as “Programming skills”, “Early child coding” and “robotic programming”, respectively. As a result, it is expected that this study will guide future studies in terms of determining research interests and trends in the field of CT.

近年来，计算思维（CT）作为一个重要的研究课题开始受到关注。详细描述CT领域并确定该领域的研究兴趣和趋势非常重要。在这项 CT 领域最全面和第一个基于主题建模的研究中，旨在确定从过去到现在关于 CT 文章的现状、研究兴趣和趋势。为此，在 2022 年 1 月 18 日从 Scopus 数据库中检索到标题、关键词和摘要中包含“计算思维”一词的文章。检索结果共获得Scopus数据库截至2021年底发表的CT相关文章1083篇。该研究的文献计量分析结果表明，该领域的出版物数量显着增加，尤其是自 2015 年以来。研究大多来自美国。尽管这些研究是跨学科的，但它们主要发表在教育技术领域的期刊上。主题建模分析表明，该领域的文章分为13个主题。这些主题中的前三个，按数量顺序，分别是“基于游戏的学习”、“编程技能”和“幼儿编码”。当检查主题的加速时，与其他主题相比，随着时间的推移权重增加的前三个主题分别脱颖而出，分别是“编程技能”、“幼儿编码”和“机器人编程”。因此，
