Aino Ukkonen; Aman Yadav; Katarina Pajchel; Constantinos Xenofontos – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) is increasingly integrated into education, promoting problem-solving skills essential for the 21st century. However, little is known about how teachers assess CT in K-12 classrooms. This qualitative study explores elementary teachers' approaches to CT assessment after professional development in integrating CT into core…

Stewart, William H.; Baek, Kwanwoo – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2023
Computational Thinking (CT) has become popular in recent years and has been recognized as an essential skill for everyone in the digital age. CT literature, however, is at an early stage of development, and there is no consensus among researchers/scholars in the field. To date, many have been unable to concretely explain what CT is, or how to…

Delia Leuenberger; Elisabeth Moser Opitz; Noemi Gloor – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2024
Computation competence (CC) in simple addition and subtraction using non-counting (NC) strategies is an important learning objective in Grade 1 mathematics but many children, especially low achievers in mathematics, struggle to acquire these skills. To provide these students with the support they need, it is important to have valid and reliable…

Sanna Forsström; Melissa Bond – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2024
Despite the widespread adoption of computational thinking (CT) across educational levels, challenges persist in its assessment due to diverse definitions, frameworks, and practical applications in classroom settings. This meta-synthesis investigates the assessment of computational thinking (CT) in primary and secondary education, synthesising…

Jiang, Xina; Harteveld, Casper; Yang, Yuqin; Fung, Anthony; Huang, Xinyuan; Chen, Shihong – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) has become an important skill for the new generation, and CT teaching games have been introduced to lower the barriers that novices face in learning programming. However, despite the prevalence of and demand for these games, little is known about the effectiveness of their design or about the principles that are…

Sun, Lihui; You, Xinxin; Zhou, Danhua – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) has become the basic foothold of STEAM education. The role of teachers as an essential element of CT education cannot be ignored. Therefore, measuring teachers' ability to integrate CT into classroom is necessary. There were two sub-studies in this study, the one was to develop a specialized scale for the evaluation of…

Gane, Brian D.; Israel, Maya; Elagha, Noor; Yan, Wei; Luo, Feiya; Pellegrino, James W. – Computer Science Education, 2021
Background & Context: We describe the rationale, design, and initial validation of computational thinking (CT) assessments to pair with curricular lessons that integrate fractions and CT. Objective: We used cognitive models of CT (learning trajectories; LTs) to design assessments and obtained evidence to support a validity argument. Method: We…

Zapata-Caceres, Maria; Martin-Barroso, Estefania; Roman-Gonzalez, Marcos – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2021
Computational thinking (CT) can be considered a 21st century core skill and, accordingly, it should be taught to students at an early age. Nevertheless, the implementation of CT in school curricula is still in an experimental stage, given that different performance metrics remain unclear, including the appropriate age for learning each skill, the…

Sibley, Benjamin – Physical Educator, 2020
In the process of educating physically literate individuals, physical educators are tasked with assessing health-related fitness of their students. It is essential to identify or develop appropriate field tests of muscular power for use in physical education settings. This study assessed jumping power in a sample of fourth, sixth, and eighth…

Guenaga, Mariluz; Eguíluz, Andoni; Garaizar, Pablo; Gibaja, Juanjo – Computer Science Education, 2021
Background and Context: Despite many initiatives to develop Computational Thinking (CT), not much is known about how early programmers develop CT and how we can assess their learning. Objective: Determine if the analysis of students' interactions with an online platform allows understanding the development of CT, how we can convert data collected…

Shih, Shu-Chuan; Kuo, Bor-Chen; Lee, Shu-Juan – Educational Psychology, 2019
This study established an online game-based assessment to explore third and fourth graders' performance of computational estimation in addition and subtraction. Students' computational estimation strategies could be automatically recorded and classified in this assessment, and the Higher-Order DINA model was used as a measurement model in order to…

Falk, Carl F.; Cai, Li – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2015
We present a logistic function of a monotonic polynomial with a lower asymptote, allowing additional flexibility beyond the three-parameter logistic model. We develop a maximum marginal likelihood based approach to estimate the item parameters. The new item response model is demonstrated on math assessment data from a state, and a computationally…

Otálora, Yenny – The Mathematics Educator, 2016
In this article, I (a) illustrate how the K-2 CCSSM reflect the major findings from research studies carried out over the last 30 years on early mathematical abilities that indicate these standards are developmentally appropriate for young children, and (b) offer insights into some types of instructional strategies (e.g., student-centered…
