Tasks for Assessing Skills of Computational Thinking

Published: 28 June 2017 Publication History

Abstract

Thinking computationally has become an important part of many disciplines. In creating lesson plans for teaching computational thinking (CT), an instrument can be used to assess the development of CT. This poster presents the Bebras Challenge tasks for assessing two skills of CT: exploring and developing algorithms, and finding patterns.
