DWES: A Dynamic Weighted Evaluation System for Scratch based on Computational Thinking

Mirror, Mirror, on The Wall, How Do We Measure What Our Students do in Scratch Programming?

“…Assessing computational thinking (CT) in Scratch Programming presents challenges due to the existence of different definitions of CT (Stewart & Baek, 2023;Moreno-León et al, 2016). In a meta-analysis conducted by Sun et al (2021), various methods of assessing CT skills in K-12 students during programming activities were explored. The study identified four main forms of CT assessment: CT tests, CT scales, CT tasks, and CT questions.…”

Scratch‐RL: A preference‐driven adversarial reinforcement reasoning framework over knowledge graphs for explainable recommendation of Scratch

“…In addition, there were some works [15][16][17][18] on designing courses or programming tasks to make programming easier. Dr. Scratch, 19 Hairball, 20 SAT, 21 DWES, 22 and 23 were proposed to assess computational thinking skills. Gordon et al developed the LitterBox 24 to check Scratch codes based on known error patterns and code smells.…”

ScratchGAN: Network representation learning for scratch with preference‐based generative adversarial nets

“…They find that although these children could be quickly proficient in using basic Computer Science concepts, such as sequences, iteration, and conditional statements, and so on, they have trouble in using the keyboard input and random numbers. Chai et al 17 focus on making techniques for assessing Scratch projects in multiple dimensions. Gao et al 18 design a tool to recognize emotions from music generated in Scratch.…”
