ABSTRACT
Based on the technology acceptance model, this paper constructs a computational thinking acceptance model for normal students. Taking normal students from H Normal University as a research sample, the structural equation model is used to quantitatively analyze that model. The research results show that subjective norms, the usefulness and ease of use of computational thinking have a positive and significant impact on the attitude and behavioral intentions of normal students to use computational thinking.
