The question of the style of thinking, which most reflects the results of informatization of education, is discussed. It
is shown that such is the so-called "computational thinking", which contributes to solving problems in a highly developed
information and educational environment. Computational thinking is the way people think in the digital age that can be
useful (and for many it is) in the world of information technology and the massive involvement of computers in solving
problems. For the formation of computational thinking, special efforts must be made, and they will be fruitful only in a
highly developed information and educational environment created in the process of informatization of education.
Computational thinking does not arise by itself - it must be purposefully shaped.
