In the context of new engineering disciplines, using the data visualization analysis software SciMATto conduct a bibliometric analysis of the dynamic evolution path of research topics related to international computational thinking in the past 10 years is beneficial for the cultivation of computational thinking in China. The keyword coverage map, clustering strategy coordinate map, and theme evolution map of the five research periods indicate that international computational thinking research is active from 2015 to 2024, and the theme evolution formed multiple evolution paths in three main directions: "robotics", "programming", and "teaching strategies and effects". The cultivation of computational thinking in our country can fully leverage the advantages of high interest and strong operability in robot education, combined with STEM to carry out comprehensive virtual simulation, when funds permit; Emphasize the cultivation of programming skills and mathematical thinking among learners of all ages; On the premise of avoiding game addiction, provide meaningful learning frameworks for certain goals, combine game design and playing, and innovate experiential teaching strategies to improve teaching effectiveness.
