I am looking into the use of a blocky based Python programming course within mathematics as a means of developing both mathematics understanding (through the topics of angles and shapes) and computational thinking. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have read many articles about the use of Scratch to develop CT and the use of Dr. Scratch as a means of quantifying the CT levels. However, the course that I am using (<a href="https://groklearning.com/course/aca-dt-7-bk-geometry/" class="">https://groklearning.com/course/aca-dt-7-bk-geometry/</a>) is written using a blocky based Python interface. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am very keen to be able to develop a tool, similar to Dr Scratch, to evaluate the code that students generate when using this platform. I’m not necessarily going to be able to develop an automated tool, such as you have, but at this point I am looking at a manual tool. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Are you able to share the evaluation criteria that you use? Or any other tools, questionnaires or rubrics you have developed to evaluate CT in code?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Yours sincerely,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Lainie Kalnins</div><div class=""><a href="mailto:lainiekalnins@gmail.com" class="">lainiekalnins@gmail.com</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
