Computational thinking in the context of higher education: Analytical review by E. K. Khenner

“…Non-cognitive skills include self-confidence, communication skills, flexibility, and others.Methods for assessing the maturity of students’ computational thinking include the results of solv­ing problems in block programming environments such as Scrath; knowledge/skill tests, self-assessment scales/surveys; tests on knowledge of the basics of computational thinking, interviews and observations; interviews, grades for assignments/courses, surveys/questionnaires, solving problems external to the class; the use of a special software environment, the use of criteria for assessing computational thinking and/or psychometric tools; assessments based on solving robotic problems or evaluating artifacts creat­ed during the game, and others.A comparison of computational thinking with digital competencies at the skill level leads to the conclusion that in computational thinking, skills represent a certain fixed set of meta-skills needed by a student regardless of solving specific problems (for example, abstraction skills). …”
