Components and Methods of Evaluating Computational Thinking for Fostering Creative Problem-Solvers in Senior Primary School Education
TL;DR: This study has two highlights: (1) problem formulation is proposed to be included as a component of CT practices and (2) CT perspectives are refined to include computational identity and programming empowerment as components.

Construct validity in psychological tests.
Lee J. Cronbach,Paul E. Meehl +1 more
TL;DR: The present interpretation of construct validity is not "official" and deals with some areas where the Committee would probably not be unanimous, but the present writers are solely responsible for this attempt to explain the concept and elaborate its implications.

Computational thinking
TL;DR: In this paper, a universally applicable attitude and skill set for computer science is presented, which is a set of skills and attitudes that everyone would be eager to learn and use, not just computer scientists.
