Item response analysis of computational thinking practices: Test characteristics and students’ learning abilities in visual programming contexts
作者：
Highlights：
• Provided a theory-driven base for the test development of computational thinking practices.
• Developed test tool of computational thinking practices based on the evidence-centered design approach.
• Testlet response analysis was adopted for test validation and refinement.
• The computational thinking practices test was generic for potential use in a broad range of CT contexts.
