Assessment - Guide to Teaching Computer Science: An Activity-Based Approach - page 198

• Portfolio of pedagogical tasks the students developed during the course: This
portfolio can include a matriculation or a course-summary exam, the plan of
teaching a unit about a specific CS topic, lab-based worksheet, etc.
• Portfolio of nonpedagogical tasks: mini-research, literature review (e.g., of CS
education research papers), problem solving in CS (including programming
tasks), a poster/presentation about an advanced CS topic, and more.
• A presentation of an advanced CS topic. Such an experience may help them in
the future if they need to teach a CS topic that they did not learn as CS students.
• Reflective diary written throughout the semester: This diary should reflect stu-
dents' conception of CS education in general and of high school CS teaching in
particular.
• Peer teaching in the MTCS itself.
• Mentoring activity or practicum in the high school (if needed to be integrated in
the course, see Chap. 13).
