CORDENONZI, Walkiria Helena  y  PINO, José Claudio Del. Method for the assessment of computational thinking and code literacy. Prax. Saber [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.31, pp.202-220.  Epub 23-Abr-2022. ISSN 2216-0159.  https://doi.org/10.19053/22160159.v12.n31.2021.11750.

This article reports a method for the assessment of computational thinking for adults. To this end, the entire andragogical construction of a course was developed, founded on Ausubel's theories of meaningful learning and on Knowles' theories of adult learning. The proposal consists of presenting a reference model of computational thinking, a method of assessment, and the classification of subjects. As a result of the application of this method, it is possible to classify participants into code literate and unplugged computational thinker. This method was implemented in a bi-national course, where Brazilian and Uruguayan students share the same space for learning. Through this case study and a qualitative analysis of the results, 25% of the participants achieved the status of code literate and 12.5% of the participants achieved the status of unplugged computational thinker. An important contribution of this method is the combination of instruments for assessment and the resulting classification of individuals, as no similar publications have been found to date.

Palabras clave : adult learning; information literacy; informatics; method for assessment.
