Report: Developing a Measure of Middle School Math Teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Computational Thinking

Posted |

This report presents findings from the development and testing of the Computational Thinking–Pedagogical Content Knowledge (CT–PCK) Survey for middle school math teachers. The goal of this survey is to provide a brief and reliable measure that directly assesses middle school teachers’ knowledge of how to integrate computational thinking into math instructions. Such measures can alert local and state education agencies if there is a need to strengthen this ability in teachers in their schools. These measures are also critical for evaluating the effectiveness of computational thinking integration into professional learning interventions. Learn more.
