In the age of the fourth industrial revolution, major social needs for indispensable SW (software) education are the CT (computational thinking) training. However, there is a lack of sympathetic software projects in the CT training for non-major students, when using a block coding tool like the scratch 3.0. Effective CT training examples should include the use of abstraction, decomposition, pattern recognition, and algorithmic thinking techniques, along with adequate structures for data storage. In this paper, we focused on how to make a model of CT processes to achieve the goals of SW education. Then, we proposed a CT model and its educational use-case in the project of developing an OX-type scoring program. The proposed OX-type scoring program was systematically developed in accordance with predefined problem-solving steps in the CT model. This proposal can be applied to various SW education subjects to educate the problem-solving steps using software and to enhance the understanding of CT processes.
