Broadening Effective Assessment with Bloom's for Computing: A Call to Translate Computing-related Verbs into World Languages
Page 656
Abstract
The ACM Education Board recently endorsed the ACM CCECC's Bloom's for Computing publication [2] which enhances the traditional verb list of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy [3] with computing-related verbs to facilitate the development of learning outcomes and competencies which enable more effective assessment of student achievement in the computing disciplines. The specific goals of this poster are a) to inform the global computing community about Bloom's for Computing and various opportunities it provides, and b) to invite members to contribute to the community by translating the Bloom's for Computing verbs into their native language and publicizing them throughout their language area.
While terminology originating from the English language dominates many areas of study, including the computing disciplines, creating detailed learning outcomes consisting of native language elements can facilitate more effective communication between faculty, students, and industry partners about academic expectations and achievement. Several learning taxonomies have been translated into different languages to broaden their impact [1,5].
By creating Bloom's for Computing, the ACM CCECC worked to remove the layer of abstraction between cross-disciplinary Bloom's verbs and more effective learning outcomes which implement verbs used in various computing disciplines. Having the computing-related verbs available in different languages would make them more easily accessible for non-native English speakers.
