Assessment instruments

We have used several different assessment instruments with our NSF grants, some of which are available below. Please contact us if there is an instrument you would like that is not listed.

Demographics Survey

Variations of this instrument have been used to collect student background information.

Programming Concepts

Two types of programming concepts: (1) those related to object-oriented programming and (2) those related to Alice topics. Please note that we have not formally validated this instrument.

Attitudes Survey 1

Modified from an attitudes survey (published as North Carolina State University Technical Report TR-2003-01.pdf by Eric Wiebe and others). This instrument has not been validated.

Attitudes Survey 2

Modified from an attitudes survey from Lloyd and Gressard. Used with permission. This instrument has been validated.



We are working at creating and validating our own attitudes and programming concepts (for CS1) surveys. We will place them here once they become available.
