“…In addition to this official classification, different authors suggested or used different classifications of Bebras tasks. Slovakian researchers suggested four task types for younger participants, such as digital literacy, programming, problem solving and data handling (Kala and Tomcsányiová, 2009); and later digital literacy, programming, algorithmic tasks and logical tasks (Budinská et al, 2017).…”

This paper focuses on the analysis of Bebras Challenge tasks to find Informatics tasks that develop abstract thinking. Our study seeks to find which Bebras tasks develop abstraction and in what way. We analysed hundreds of tasks from the Czech contest to identify those tasks requiring participants to abstract directly or use abstract structures. Results show that an agreement among experts on stating which task is focused on abstraction is at a moderate level. We discovered that tasks focused on abstraction occur four to five times less frequently in sets of contest tasks than algorithmic tasks. Our findings proved that abstract tasks results compared with algorithmic ones did not differ in neither age nor gender group of contestants.
