“…Literacy tasks were common in the earlier years (e.g., 10.8% in 2010) and became much less frequent in later years (e.g., <1% in 2014). We hypothesize that this is related to the stronger interest in CT skills in schools during the time period considered.…”

This exploratory study focuses on concepts and their assessment in K-9 computer science (CS) education. We analyzed concepts in local curriculum documents and guidelines, as well as interviewed K-9 teachers in two countries about their teaching and assessment practices. Moreover, we investigated the 'task based assessment' approach of the international Bebras contest by classifying the conceptual content and question structure of Bebras tasks spanning five years. Our results show a variety in breadth and focus in curriculum documents, with the notion of algorithm as a significant common concept. Teachers' practice appears to vary, depending on their respective backgrounds. Informal assessment practices are predominant, especially in the case of younger students. In the Bebras tasks, algorithms and data representation were found to be the main concept categories. The question structure follows specific patterns, but the relative frequencies of the patterns employed in the tasks vary over the years. Our analysis methods appear to be interesting in themselves, and the results of our study give rise to suggestions for follow-up research.

“…Several assessment instruments are based on the SOLO [10] and (revised) Bloom's taxonomies [1]. The former considers five levels of understanding: pre-structural, uni-structural, multi-structural, relational and extended abstract.…”

“…They classified students' descriptions of SD. Their classification was based on an analytical framework for mapping variation in student conceptions called the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) taxonomy introduced by Biggs and Collis [10]. The classes used for classification are in Table 1.…”

This paper presents data from a project which aims to determine the level of knowledge and understanding of engineering students about Sustainable Development (SD). The data derives from a survey completed by final year engineering students in three Irish Higher Education Institutions. This paper is part of a larger study which examines the relationship between students' and teachers' understanding of SD. The results from the survey show that final year engineering students have a discipline-led conception of SD. The majority of the participants fail to acknowledge the complexity of the concept and focus only on environmental protection. Their knowledge of legislation relevant to SD and the social aspect of sustainability is deficient.
