Um Modelo de Avaliação do Pensamento Computacional na Educação Básica através da Análise de Código de Linguagem de Programação Visual

Resumo

Teaching computational thinking in K-12 is important to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century. Consequently, there is a need to assess the acquired competences. In this context, the present work presents a model for the assessment of computational thinking competences related to algorithm and programming with visual programming languages. The model was systematically developed based on reference curricula and instantiated and automated for projects created with App Inventor. Results from a large-scale evaluation, with more than 88,000 mobile applications created with App Inventor, indicate good reliability and demonstrate the model?s validity.
