Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the abilities elementary school students can cultivate through education using programming. We focused on using programming in subject education, e.g., arithmetic and science. The effect of programming education in computer science has been reported extensively; however, it is unclear what abilities utilization of programming in may cultivate in other subjects. Therefore, in this study, we created a rubric to evaluate programming thinking skills. The rubric was applied to actual elementary school math and science classes for evaluation. As a result, in mathematics, the ability to analyze events improved, and, in science, the ability to branch improved. In this paper, we present the rubric and corresponding evaluation results.
