Chien Wen Yuan; Hsin-yi Sandy Tsai; Yu-Ting Chen – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
The rapid evolution of AI technologies has reshaped our daily lives. As AI systems become increasingly prevalent, AI literacy, the ability to comprehend and engage with these technologies, becomes paramount in modern society. However, existing research has yet to establish a comprehensive framework for AI literacy. This study aims to fill this gap…

Xinlei Li; Guoyuan Sang; Martin Valcke; Johan van Braak – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
In the context of digital technologies, computational thinking (CT) is considered a key competence of primary school teachers. However, assessment tools to measure in-service teachers' CT competence are rare. The current study explains the design, development, and validation of a scale to determine the in-service teachers' mastery level of their…

Torres Jiménez, Stephanie; Ramírez-Echeverry, Jhon Jairo; Restrepo-Calle, Felipe – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
This article presents the design, construct validation, and reliability of a self-report instrument in Spanish that aims to characterize different types of strategies that students can use to learn computer programming. We provide a comprehensive overview of the identification of learning strategies in the existing literature, the design and…

Lafuente Martínez, Marc; Lévêque, Olivier; Benítez, Isabel; Hardebolle, Cécile; Zufferey, Jessica Dehler – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
This study describes the development and validation process of a computational thinking (CT) test for adults. The team designed a set of items and explored a subset of those through two qualitative pilots. Then, in order to provide validity evidence based on the test content, a team of 11 subject-matter experts coded the initial pool of items…

El-Hamamsy, Laila; Zapata-Cáceres, María; Barroso, Estefanía Martín; Mondada, Francesco; Zufferey, Jessica Dehler; Bruno, Barbara – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
With the increasing importance of Computational Thinking (CT) at all levels of education, it is essential to have valid and reliable assessments. Currently, there is a lack of such assessments in upper primary school. That is why we present the development and validation of the competent CT test (cCTt), an unplugged CT test targeting 7-9 year-old…

Lai, Rina PY; Ellefson, Michelle R. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) is an emerging and multifaceted competence important to the computing era. However, despite the growing consensus that CT is a competence domain, its theoretical and empirical account remain scarce in the current literature. To address this issue, rigorous psychometric evaluation procedures were adopted to investigate…

Tsai, Meng-Jung; Chien, Francis Pingfan; Wen-Yu Lee, Silvia; Hsu, Chung-Yuan; Liang, Jyh-Chong – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
This study aimed to develop the Computational Thinking Test for Elementary School Students (CTT-ES) to assess young children's CT competencies in non-programming contexts and also examine the relationship between CT competencies and CT dispositions. A survey including a pool of CTT-ES candidate items and the Computational Thinking Scale (CTS) was…

Li, Xu; Ouyang, Fan; Liu, Jianwen; Wei, Chengkun; Chen, Wenzhi – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
The computer-supported writing assessment (CSWA) has been widely used to reduce instructor workload and provide real-time feedback. Interpretability of CSWA draws extensive attention because it can benefit the validity, transparency, and knowledge-aware feedback of academic writing assessments. This study proposes a novel assessment tool,…

Tsai, Meng-Jung; Liang, Jyh-Chong; Lee, Silvia Wen-Yu; Hsu, Chung-Yuan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
A prior study developed the Computational Thinking Scale (CTS) for assessing individuals' computational thinking dispositions in five dimensions: decomposition, abstraction, algorithmic thinking, evaluation, and generalization. This study proposed the Developmental Model of Computational Thinking through validating the structural relationships…

Tsai, Meng-Jung; Liang, Jyh-Chong; Hsu, Chung-Yuan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Computational thinking has received tremendous attention from computer science educators and educational researchers in the last decade. However, most prior literature defines computational thinking as thinking outcomes rather than thinking processes. Based on Selby and Woodland's framework, this study developed and validated the Computational…

Kiliç, Servet; Gökoglu, Seyfullah; Öztürk, Mücahit – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
In this research, a scale was developed to determine the programming-oriented computational thinking skills of university students. The participants were 360 students studying in various departments at different universities in Turkey for computer programming. The scale consists of 33 items under conceptual knowledge, algorithmic thinking, and…

Tsai, Meng-Jung; Wang, Ching-Yeh; Wu, An-Hsuan; Hsiao, Chun-Ying – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Robotics education has gradually been emphasized in contemporary school curricula; however, assessment tools for robotics learning are still limited. Based on Bloom's Taxonomy of educational objectives, this study aimed to develop the Robotics Learning Self-Efficacy Scale (RLSES) with a two-level construct of five dimensions for assessing…
