Personalized Assessment Worksheets for Scratch (PAWS)
Jean Salac · 2019
The computer science community has struggled to assess student learning, especially at the early elementary level. Prior work has included one-on-one interviews, written assessments, and artifact analysis, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. Through our Personalized Assessment Worksheets for Scratch (PAWS) tool, we explore personalized assessments as an assessment technique that lies in between interviews, written assessments, and artifact analysis. PAWS creates personalized written assessments that integrates code from student Scratch projects. We hope that our PAWS tool, and more generally personalized assessments, will lead to an assessment technique that is both more accurate than written assessments and artifact analysis, and less time-consuming than interviews.
