Draft Assessment Design Patterns, ECS Computational Thinking Practices
We propose seven design patterns as a starting point for our computational thinking assessment framework.
- Analyze One's Own Computational Work and the Work of Others
- Apply Abstractions and Models
- Design and Implement Creative Solutions and Artifacts
- Analyze Effects of Development in Computing
- Connect Computing with Other Disciplines
- Communicate Thoughts Processes and Results in Simple Formats
- Work Effectively in Teams
For each of these patterns, we are defining Focal Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes (both core and additional); Potential Work Products; Potential Observations; Characteristic Features, and Variable Features. This completed schema will be the design pattern for the assessments to be developed for ECS.
