• In Event: Computational Thinking and Problem Solving

Abstract

The study investigates the reliability of an observation rubric intended to assess and provide formative feedback to improve instructional practices in Computational Thinking. We present the results of our examination of the reliability of ratings of teaching practice generated using the rubric and discuss the various sources of measurement error.
