Analyzing the Development of Students'Computational Thinking:A Theory-driven Approach Using Process Data
Computational thinking(CT)is one of the key competencies for students in the 21st century.Therefore,how to measure computational thinking has received increasing attention over the past decade.In this study,we proposed an integrated computational thinking cognitive model from the perspective of the problem-solving process.On this basis,we developed a coding scheme and scoring rubric according to the process data from student programming.The results from two rounds of testing indicated that assessment methods based on process data are suitable for identifying students'progress in computational thinking.In addition,this study described the specific manifestations of students'CT development through qualitative analysis.Overall,this study provides a new perspective on measuring CT based on process data.
