This thesis is part of the completion of the postgraduate program "Management and Organization of Educational Units" at the International Hellenic University. Computational Thinking (CT) and cultivating its skills can be the key to shaping the identity of the modern student. The utilization of CT and its integration into education are issues that must be addressed by all involved in the educational process. The integration of CT in teaching practice depends on the perceptions and attitudes of teachers. The purpose of the present study is to study these characteristics for IT teachers in Greece. The findings show an increased interest of the majority of teachers in CΤ as well as a positive intention to integrate it into the teaching practice. The present study presents some conceptual misconceptions and teachers largely express a desire for training. The research shows what tools are used to integrate it into education. The research findings can be used to more effectively prepare for any attempt to integrate CT into education.
