Assessing Computational Thinking: Updates and Advances in the Field

Fri, April 12, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 5, Salon B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

As the presence of Computational Thinking (CT) continues to grow across educational spaces, it becomes increasingly important that assessment strategies also grow to fit the expanding contexts in which CT learning is happening. This symposium brings together authors of a forthcoming book on the topic of assessing CT. Each of the six presentations provides a unique and complementary perspective on assessing CT. Collectively, the set of presentations spans context (e.g., formal, informal), audiences (early childhood through high school), CT learning tools/environments, and methodological approach. The result is a comprehensive snapshot of the current state of assessing CT and will be of interest to researchers, educators, and designers working in this space.
