Project Overview Storytelling Alice & Alice 2.2 Elective technology classes 325 middle school students 311 completed assessment Solo or programming pairs ~20 hours

Assessment Design Story-narrative Fixing faulty program & adding functionality Motivating Post only Individually completed ~30 minutes to complete Instructions delivered via characters & print

Measuring Computational Thinking Three tasks to measure: Algorithmic thinking Abstraction & Modeling

Alice “Fairy” world

“Resize” Task Make pressing the up arrow work right and return LeafFlame to his original size. Challenges student to: Understand events Recognize faulty event handler Think algorithmically Repair faulty method

Faulty code

Partial points

Contributions Student transfers knowledge Motivating to students Range of computational thinking Modified for other programming environments

Still to come… Scratch assessment Solo/pair programmers; girls/boys Measuring aspects of computational thinking Learning analytics
