Assessing In-service K-12 Teachers’ Computational Thinking Skills in India

• In Event: Division D Graduate Student in Progress Research Gala

Abstract

"This is a correlational study that assesses the competence of in-service K-12 teachers from India in a computational thinking (CT) skill transfer test based on unplugged CT activities. It will correlate teachers’ performance on the test with the number of professional development trainings received and time since last training. The purpose of this study is to ascertain if there is a relationship between professional development training in CT and the competence of in-service K-12 teachers in performing CT skills. The study aims to identify if there are gaps in CT professional development that can be addressed for better CT application skills and confidence among K-12 teachers.
