 Computational Literacy Background. The definition of computational literacy used here was developed after extensive research and input across the interagency of the federal government. Purpose. It was intended to bring coherence to federal efforts to promote lifelong education in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) for all Americans. Definition. Computational literacy is the ability to use information, information processing agents, digital assets, networking components, and applications and systems that, combined, allow people and organizations to interact in a digital world to solve problems, either individually or with a team; to draw meaning and reasonable conclusions from digital information in both personal and professional contexts; to safely, ethically, and securely use networks (wired and wireless) and data; and to understand how computing, data, and connectivity affects society.139 Computational literacy helps an individual – A. ethically, securely, safely, and efficiently use information processing agents, digital tools, and digital platforms to teach, learn, and solve problems, including problems with sensitive information; B. problem-solve (e.g., decomposing problems into manageable pieces; heuristic reasoning; algorithmic thinking; computational thinking); C. think recursively; D. navigate multiple levels of abstraction; E. recognize patterns; F. collect, analyze, manage, visualize, and communicate data; G. translate domain knowledge into mathematical and visual models; H. understand the social, technical, and cultural dynamics of computational technology, including equity, inclusion, and accessibility; and I. critically evaluate related technologies.140 Digital Resilience Background. The definition of digital resilience was developed for the inaugural report by Digital US titled “Building a Digitally Resilient Workforce: Creating On-Ramps to Opportunity.”. Purpose. Digital US, a coalition of companies and organizations, argues that it is imperative to design, build, and scale the on-ramps and support that adult learners and workers need. Digital resilience enables people to meet the constantly evolving technical skills requirements of employers. Definition. Having the awareness, skills, agility, and confidence to be empowered users of new technologies and adapt to changing digital skill demands. Digital resilience improves capacity to problem-solve and upskill, navigate digital transformations, and be active participants in society and the economy.141 NATIONAL CYBER WORKFORCE AND EDUCATION STRATEGY 48
