The rapid advancement of technology necessitates integrating computational thinking (CT) and artificial intelligence (AI) from the earliest stages education. As researchers navigate through digital age, it becomes increasingly important to prepare young learners understand engage with these technologies, which are reshaping human lives. Early childhood education (ECE) is critical for laying foundation lifelong learning cognitive development. During formative years, children especially receptive new concepts ways thinking, making an ideal period introduce CT AI. not only shapes academic skills but also fosters creativity, problem-solving abilities. Integrating AI into ECE can provide tools need thrive in a technology-driven world. By introducing early, demystify encourage generation that just consumers creators innovators.

Abstract In this conceptual study, we explore the incorporation of computational thinking (CT) within integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, aiming to enhance Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework for teacher professional development. Despite fundamental role mathematics in K‐16 engineering its theoretical practical dimensions a transdisciplinary STEM context interlinks with CT remain underexplored. This gap extends development teachers research‐oriented environments, which presents significant challenges. The study aims address these issues by repositioning cognitive‐adaptive competencies such as design (DT) crucial enabler competency, advocating move beyond normative approaches. We comprehensively analyze integration efforts STEM, often rely on declarative definitions without substantive implications. poses questions (1) how can be effectively into (2) characteristics normative‐adaptive model (3) educational focused mathematical modeling, simulation design, student engagement research. Drawing innovative practices, scrutinize DT through examples from mathematics, emphasizing importance developing models algorithms. Ultimately, propose competency‐centered normative‐adaptive‐context aware (NACAMS)‐TPACK that enhances classical TPACK interlinking computational, general pedagogical competencies. is particularly relevant educators, policymakers, researchers involved education.
