摘要：

In this paper, we combined a visualization tool and Dr. Scratch website service to support instructors evaluating the Scratch projects on an online social networking forum: scratch.mit.edu. Scratch is a visual programming language used by youth to design programs like animation, game, or music. Their computational thinking skills take place around program decompositions, program patterns, and data representation in the shared Scratch programs (called projects). Through the exploratory work, we found that some cues, such as deep nested iteration, may be successfully used as indicators of users' computational thinking skills. This suggests future directions for assessing youth's computational thinking skills development and educational opportunities emerging from shared Scratch projects.
