As part of our research work, we have used simulation to provide training in Global Software Development (GSD). We have developed a platform to strengthen GSD skills by simulating realistic settings in which learners interact with Virtual Agents of differing cultures. Thus, learners will experience multi-cultural problems and will develop specific GSD communication skills. The development of these skills must, however, be accurately assessed, bearing in mind that the training is aimed at learners with different characteristics and skills. In this paper we present an assessment process based on educational theory adapted to our simulation-based training environment. Methods to minimize the instructors' effort and tailor the assessment to specific training needs are proposed. The assessment process has been evaluated by 34 potential users. Results indicate that the assessment method yields meaningful results and proof of learning. Also that automated assessment can be achieved with minimal intervention from the instructor. Though tailored for GSD, this method could be applied to other domains, in both industry and academia.","PeriodicalId":334476,"journal":{"name":"Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131947665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TPS allows students to express their reasoning, reflect on their understanding and obtain prompt feedback on their learning. While TPS is recommended to foster classroom engagement and learning, there is a lack of research based evidence in computer science education on the benefits of TPS for learning. In this study, we investigate the learning effectiveness of TPS in a CS1 course. We performed a quasi-experimental study and found that students who learned via TPS performed significantly better on a post-test than students who learned the same concept via lecture. We also conducted a survey and focus group interviews to understand student perceptions of learning with TPS. The majority of students agreed that TPS activities helped improve their conceptual understanding. From an instructor's point of view, TPS was useful to address the challenges of a large class, such as students tuning out or getting distracted and was easy to implement even in a large class.","PeriodicalId":334476,"journal":{"name":"Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128235281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Peer review often happens after assignments are turned in, on complete artifacts that other students have created. We've been experimenting with a different style of peer review, which we call in-flow reviewing, in which programming assignments are broken into reviewable stages. After students complete each stage they review one anothers' work, allowing for feedback early on in the assignment. We've built a system, dubbed Captain Teach, for exploring in-flow reviewing for both programming and written assignments. In our demonstration and tutorial, we will show what the student experience looks like for a Captain Teach assignment, explain the interface that instructors have for creating assignments in Captain Teach, outline some of the mechanisms for anonymously assigning reviews and distributing feedback, and discuss future directions for the tool.","PeriodicalId":334476,"journal":{"name":"Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130500026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is not always apparent in game and simulation projects what computational thinking-related skills students have acquired. Computational Thinking Pattern Analysis (CTPA) enables teachers to visualize which of nine specific skills students have mastered in game design that can then be used to create simulations. CTPA has the potential to automatically recognize and calculate student computational thinking skills, as well as to map students' computational thinking skill progression, as they proceed through the curriculum. The current research furthers knowledge of CTPA by exploring its validity based on how its performance correlates to human grading of student games. Initial data from this validation study indicates that CTPA correlates well with human grading and that it can even be used to predict students' future achievement levels given their current skill progression, making CTPA a potentially invaluable computational thinking evaluation tool for teachers.","PeriodicalId":334476,"journal":{"name":"Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education","volume":"09 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133054943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas traditional automated assessment tools mainly apply textual comparison of test program output vs. model output, we present a method that applies graphical output in terms of QR (Quick Response) codes. In our approach, programming tasks are formulated in such a way that the correct output of the task is a QR code. The correctness of the solution can therefore be tested by scanning the QR code. Despite the simple form of the tasks, they can support automated assessment with instant feedback, multiple programming languages, and simple statistics of students' performance. In some cases, feedback about misconceptions can also be given automatically. Moreover, they fit well to game-like learning environments, because the output can be interpreted as an URL which can lead to new clues or puzzles in a game. This is very useful, for example, in alternate reality games.","PeriodicalId":334476,"journal":{"name":"Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121951299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
