Abstract
The Malaysian Education Blueprint has focused its aspirations to equip students with unparalleled thinking skills. The implementation of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) has push students to have the ability to solve problems which it is observed to be lacking. Thus, Computational Thinking (CompT) is proposed as a strategy to advocate solving problem skills among students. Other than that, its introduction to the curricula aims in yielding digital creators in this digital era. However, it has its misconceptions and has been perceived similar to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Thus, this paper aims to change the perception of CompT and present techniques that can be put to use to promote solving problem skills among students. At the same time, it can complement the effort of enhancing HOTS among students
