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…

Lin, Hsin-Hui; Wang, Yi-Shun; Li, Ci-Rong; Shih, Ying-Wei; Lin, Shin-Jeng – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2017
The main purpose of this study is to develop and validate a multidimensional instrument for measuring mobile learning systems success (MLSS) based on the previous research. This study defines the construct of MLSS, develops a generic MLSS instrument with desirable psychometric properties, and explores the instrument's theoretical and practical…
