In this poster, we highlight computational thinking resources for schools from the PACT team at Maynooth University, Ireland. The resources are derived from tasks from the Bebras international computational thinking initiative. The different modalities ...

The role of non-formal education in increasing female participation in Computer Science (CS) is a hot topic. Short-term interventions, including programming skill outreach activities, have been reported to increase self-efficacy and willingness to pursue ...

The annual Bebras challenge aims to grow students' interest in computer science via engaging problem solving tasks whereas ViLLE is a widely used digital learning environment with a built-in assessment tool and analytics for large number of students. The ...

Automatic feedback during a coding exam can be very useful for both the students and the examiners. It can provide a quick and objective evaluation of the code written by the students, which can save a lot of time for the examiners and ensure consistency ...

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in partnership with ACM India has been organizing the Bebras Challenge in India since 2018. To date, over 500,000 students have participated in the challenge. Tata Steel Foundation (TSF) initiated "The Thousand Schools ...

The Flemish Government has imposed a new and challenging set of learning objectives for secondary education. An important part comprises Computational Thinking for 3rd and 4th year students, and Computer Science for students in their 5th and 6th year. ...

We have developed a quantitative tool for assessing senior high school students' computational thinking skills and administered it in the Taipei metropolitan area of Taiwan. Our CT test is language/tool/knowledge-independent and focuses on four key CT ...

Three classifications of abstraction are presented and expanded on: Reductive, Constructive and Contextual. The associated process of Representation is linked to these abstractive processes. A short pilot study is described. It is found that students ...

This report summarizes the information related to a PhD project that aims to develop an Open-Source Emotion-Based Adaptive Learning Support System through Computational Thinking activities. This paper outlines the proposed objectives and provides an ...
