Ling Wang; Shen Zhan – Education Research and Perspectives, 2024
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is transforming education, with assessment design emerging as a crucial area of innovation, particularly in computer science (CS) education. Effective assessment is critical for evaluating student competencies and guiding learning processes, yet traditional practices face significant challenges in CS…

Holloman, Teirra K.; Lee, Walter C.; London, Jeremi S.; Hawkins Ash, Chaneé D.; Watford, Bevlee A. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Background: In the field of engineering education, assessment and evaluation have been given insufficient attention as they relate to broadening participation. We posit that this lack of attention negatively impacts our ability to develop and implement sustainable solutions at scale. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to explore the presence…

Paiva, José Carlos; Leal, José Paulo; Figueira, Álvaro – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
Practical programming competencies are critical to the success in computer science (CS) education and go-to-market of fresh graduates. Acquiring the required level of skills is a long journey of discovery, trial and error, and optimization seeking through a broad range of programming activities that learners must perform themselves. It is not…

Kakavas, Panagiotis; Ugolini, Francesco C. – Research on Education and Media, 2019
This study presents a 13-year (2006-2018) systematic literature review related to the way that computational thinking (CT) has grown in elementary level education students (K-6) with the intention to: (a) present an overview of the educational context/setting where CT has been implemented, (b) identify the learning context that CT is used in…

Taylor, C.; Zingaro, D.; Porter, L.; Webb, K. C.; Lee, C. B.; Clancy, M. – Computer Science Education, 2014
Concept Inventories (CIs) are assessments designed to measure student learning of core concepts. CIs have become well known for their major impact on pedagogical techniques in other sciences, especially physics. Presently, there are no widely used, validated CIs for computer science. However, considerable groundwork has been performed in the form…

Keppens, Jeroen; Hay, David – Computer Science Education, 2008
A key challenge of effective teaching is assessing and monitoring the extent to which students have assimilated the material they were taught. Concept mapping is a methodology designed to model what students have learned. In effect, it seeks to produce graphical representations (called concept maps) of the concepts that are important to a given…
