Résumé:
Abstract:: A primary goal of many CS education projects is to de-termine the extent to which a given intervention has had an impact on student learning. However, computing lacks valid assessments for pedagogical or research purposes. Without such valid assessments, it is difficult to accurately measure student learning or establish a relationship between the in-structional setting and learning outcomes. We developed the Foundational CS1 (FCS1) Assessment instrument, the first assessment instrument for introductory computer science concepts that is applicable across a vari-ety of current pedagogies and programming languages. We applied methods from educational and psychological test development, adapting them as necessary to fit the disci-plinary context. We conducted a large scale empirical study to demonstrate that pseudo-code was an appropriate mech-anism for achieving programming language independence. Finally, we established the validity of the assessment using a multi-faceted argument, combining interview data, statis-tical analysis of results on the assessment, and CS1 exam scores.
