Assessing Computational Thinking for 9th Grade Students in Rural High Schools

• In Event: Computational Thinking and Problem Solving

Abstract

The Computational Thinking Assessment for High School (CTA-HS) was developed through the federally-supported Pathways for Alabama Computer Science (PACS) project. CTA-HS is utilized twice in rural schools across Alabama: with 9th graders as a Year 1 outcome, and with those same students in 11th grade as a Year 3 outcome.
