Computational thinking (CT), a transversal intellectual foundation integral to computer science, is making its way into compulsory comprehensive education worldwide. Students are expected
to attain skills and knowledge in such interdisciplinary CT principles as Algorithmic thinking, Data representation, and Debugging.
Problem-solving by designing and manipulating interactive media
with Scratch, a graphical programming tool, is popular especially at
the primary school level. However, there has been confusion regarding how introductory CT can be operationalized for educational
practice. Teachers and students need research-based knowledge
for setting appropriate learning goals in addition to instruments
for formative assessment that potentially improve the quality of
learning. This study contributes to these issues by developing the
assessment for learning of CT via Scratch in primary school settings.
A review on prior studies involving the assessment of CT-related
computational ideas in Scratch has led to the conceptualization of a
revised assessment framework. Next steps in the study are analyzing fourth grade students’ (N=58) Scratch projects and exploring
complementary methods for analyzing CT in video recordings of
the students’ programming processes.

Computational Thinking in Programming with Scratch in Primary Schools : A Systematic Review
Fagerlund, Janne; Häkkinen, Päivi; Vesisenaho, Mikko; Viiri, Jouni (John Wiley & Sons, 2021)Computer programming is being introduced in educational curricula, even at the primary school level. One goal of this implementation is to teach computational thinking (CT), which is potentially applicable in various ... -
Thesis data: Teaching, learning and assessing CT through Scratch in primary schools
Fagerlund, Janne; Salmela, Sini (University of Jyväskylä, 2023)The empirical data comprised 4th grade students' Scratch programming work in primary school classrooms. The students participated in a 12-lesson programming course, during which they programmed mainly in pairs on the same ... -
Teaching, Learning and Assessing Computational Thinking through Programming with Scratch in Primary Schools
Fagerlund, Janne (Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2021)This doctoral thesis explores the teaching and learning of a competence referred to as ‘computational thinking’ (CT) in the context of Scratch—an especially popular programming environment intended for young learners—in ... -
