Evaluating young children's creative coding: rubric development and testing for ScratchJr projects.

Project-based assessment has been used to evaluate coding projects created by students for a long time. Nevertheless, there is a lack of rigorously tested project-based coding rubrics that are developmentally appropriate for early childhood. This study presented the development and testing of a coding rubric to evaluate children's creations with the popular ScratchJr app for early childhood, as well as results from field testing of the rubric.
