Research title: Designing Assessment and Pedagogical Frameworks for Awarding Qualifications
Research Summary
While the use of GenAI in computer programming has lessened the emphasis on skills such as knowing library semantics and syntax, essential abilities like problem decomposition, code specification, code reading, and code testing remain as important as ever.
My research focuses on developing and evaluating a process-oriented assessment method that captures students’ intermediate work and applies a suitable metric to gauge their learning progress.
This should provide a foundation for creating pedagogies to support the teaching, learning, and assessment of GenAI-assisted computer programming in classrooms. The study will offer a theoretical framework for assessing the skills K-12 students need to develop computer programs with GenAI, alongside practical tools for use by Qualification Authorities, ultimately benefiting educators, students, and teachers.
