Currently, the tools for assessing the computational thinking(CT) abilities of college students lack comprehensive coverage, focusing only on the cognitive aspects of CT and neglecting exploration of non-cognitive abilities. In this study, through a literature review, a theoretical framework for college students' CT was constructed, encompassing both cognitive and non-cognitive abilities. The framework includes four core dimensions: conceptual knowledge, algorithmic thinking, problem exploration, and values, along with 11 secondary indicators. Based on this framework, a test tool suitable for assessing college students' CT was developed. The tool consists of 18 questions assessing non-cognitive abilities and 22 questions assessing cognitive abilities. Statistical analysis methods and multidimensional item response theory were employed to analyze the empirical results of the test. The results indicate that the tool has reasonable difficulty and discrimination; the α reliability coefficient method shows good internal consistency; factor analysis results demonstrate a good fit between the theoretical model and observed data, indicating high structural validity. Overall, the test tool exhibits high quality and performance, and the comprehensive dimensionality provides important guidance for the reform and development of CT in higher education.
