I am curious to know what would be good instruments to measure computational thinking in the context of K-12 education. I have found some papers in the context of scratch programming language etc. but more coverage would be exteremly useful for our research purposes.
Thank you for your contribution!
There's a blog, authored by Dr Judy Robertson, who has some insight and shared experiences teaching kids computational logic and thinking. Maybe it could give some good tips or indications that may help.

Hello Laru,
You can look into UK Bebras Computational Thinking questions bank, and they may have a specific assessment tools as well but I'm not sure about it. Here is the link: http://www.bebras.uk/
I have attached a file for your reference, which may have some more resources for your use.
You can also look at Meerbaum-Salant et al. (2013) and their reference list.
All the Best !
Contrary to many schools of thought it is not founded in the ability to manipulate a set of instructions in whichever format they may appear, but the ability to find a solution to a problem. The problem can only be presented in a form that is within the experience and expertise of the subject and the ability of the subject to comprehend and relate to the problem . Once this solution has been found the steps to solve the problem became apparent. Fundamentally, it is the ease in which the solution is found that can be the measure of computational thinking. Motivation provides the need to find a solution but has no impact on the ease in which the solution can be found.
