Datasets for testing the computational thinking of children with mental disabilities by cCT-test

This study aims to evaluate the impact of web technologies on the development of computational thinking of students with mental disabilities. The experiment involved 14 students aged 8-12. For 8 weeks children were trained in computational thinking and computer science. Assessment of computational thinking was performed with cCT-test by El-Hamamsi et al. before and after the experiment (El-Hamamsy, L., Zapata-Cáceres, M., Barroso, E. M., Mondada, F., Zufferey, J. D., & Bruno, B. (2022). The competent Computational Thinking Test: Development and Validation of an Unplugged Computational Thinking Test for Upper Primary School. Journal of Educational Computing Research, 07356331221081753 https://doi.org/10.1177/07356331221081753). After conducting computer science lessons using web technologies the respondents showed a higher level of computational thinking (M=15,7, SD=3,69), compared to the results of preliminary testing (M=5,93, SD=2,3). Web technologies can significantly increase the effectiveness of inclusive pedagogy, which establishes the importance of integrating web technologies into the teaching system in inclusive classes of general education schools.

M., Mondada, F., Zufferey, J. D., & Bruno, B.，2022。《胜任力计算思维测试：面向小学高年级的无纸笔计算思维测试的开发与验证》，《教育计算研究期刊》，07356331221081753，https://doi.org/10.1177/07356331221081753）。 在采用网络技术开展计算机科学课程后，受试者的计算思维水平（M=15.7，SD=3.69）显著高于预测试结果（M=5.93，SD=2.3）。网络技术可显著提升融合教学法（inclusive pedagogy）的效能，这表明将网络技术融入普通学校融合班级的教学体系具有重要意义。 任务示例可通过以下链接获取： https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPz8p6LE=/?share_link_id=864046044746 https://wordwall.net/resource/48631685 https://wordwall.net/resource/48650842 https://wordwall.net/resource/48655774 https://wordwall.net/resource/48661305
