Measuring Children’s Computational Thinking and Problem-Solving in a Block-Based Programming Game by Kayla Teng, Gregory K. W. K. Chung

“…Using fine-grained, moment-to-moment gameplay data, we developed and validated seven game-based indicators (GBIs) of CT using correlational analysis and nonparametric tests and integrated them into a problem-solving framework. Our findings showed that children’s gameplay behavior can be used to measure their CT and problem-solving skills.…”
