先前对学生编程能力的研究提出了关于学生解决问题、阅读和分析代码以及理解入门计算概念的能力的问题。然而,目前尚不清楚这些结果是否是学生理解失败的结果,还是我们无法准确衡量他们的表现的结果。我们提出了一种创建独立于语言的 CS1 评估工具的方法,并展示了我们的分析结果,用于定义将作为考试框架的通用概念内容。最后,我们讨论了未来的工作以及我们在开发评估方面取得的进展。
Previous studies of student programming ability have raised questions about students' ability to problem solve, read and analyze code, and understand introductory computing concepts. However, it is unclear whether these results are the product of failures of student comprehension or our inability to accurately measure their performance. We propose a method for creating a language independent CS1 assessment instrument and present the results of our analysis used to define the common conceptual content that will serve as the framework for the exam. We conclude with a discussion of future work and our progress towards developing the assessment.
