The evaluation of individual student projects objectively remains challenging due to a paucity of suitable tools. Block-based programming languages such as Snap! are extensively utilised in the pedagogy of computer science basics and the facilitation of project creation. The present study developed and refined a rubric for evaluating Snap! projects, based on a dataset of 36 student projects over three years. Following a thorough review and subsequent revision by experts in the field, the rubric was subjected to a test process involving prospective teachers. These teachers evaluated a test database comprising ten additional projects, with and without the tool in question. The findings demonstrate that the rubric significantly enhances assessment consistency and facilitates more precise differentiation of project quality. The rubric facilitates a more precise evaluation of programming competencies and offers educators a valuable resource for assessing block-based programming work.

In this workshop we'll familiarize you with the competency rubric, try it on different projects and discuss its applicability with you.
