Assessing Creativity in Computing Classrooms

The excitement for the creative power of programming and the questions about how to assess students’ creative work prompted us to undertake this project, which was funded through the generous support of Google’s Computer Science Education Research program. In this project, we were guided by a central question: How do K-12 computing teachers assess creative programming work? Our approach was simple: during the summer of 2019, we talked to 80 K–12 computing teachers across the U.S. about how they supported and assessed creative work in programming activities. In our conversations, typically between two teachers and a member of our team, teachers brought a pair of assessment examples and used those examples as the foundation for a broader discussion about creativity, programming, and assessment.

Through these conversations, as well as an examination of the assessment research literature, we identified key principles that guide the assessment of creative programming activities:
-Foster a classroom culture that values assessment.
-See student process as well as product.
-Understand what is creative for the student.
-Support students by incorporating feedback from multiple perspectives.
-Scaffold opportunities for students to develop judgment of their own work.

Thanks to these incredible teachers who met with us and generously shared their thinking about their practice, we were able to gather more than 300 assessments, ranging from class project rubrics to examples of student project portfolios. In this document, we are sharing our understandings in two ways: (1) a collection of four case studies, and (2) a selection of 50 assessments. The case studies tell the stories of four teachers who are putting the guiding principles of creative assessment into practice in the complex, real-life contexts of their classrooms.

The 50 assessments represent a curated collection of real assessments that teachers are using in their classrooms, accompanied by quotes from teachers about what the assessment of creative work entails.
