Jeff Bender – ProQuest LLC, 2023
At an unrivaled and enduring pace, computing has transformed the world, resulting in demand for a universal fourth foundation beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic: computational thinking (CT). Despite increasingly widespread acceptance of CT as a crucial competency for all, transforming education systems accordingly has proven complex. The…

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…

Chenchen Ma; Jing Ouyang; Chun Wang; Gongjun Xu – Grantee Submission, 2024
Survey instruments and assessments are frequently used in many domains of social science. When the constructs that these assessments try to measure become multifaceted, multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) provides a unified framework and convenient statistical tool for item analysis, calibration, and scoring. However, the computational…

Eloy, Adelmo; Achutti, Camila F.; Fernandez, Cassia; Lopes, Roseli de Deus – Informatics in Education, 2022
Integrating computational thinking into K-12 Education has been a widely explored topic in recent years. Particularly, effective assessment of computational thinking can support the understanding of how learners develop computational concepts and practices. Aiming to help advance research on this topic, we propose a data-driven approach to assess…

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…
