Python Practical Assessment (End of KS3 or start of GCSE)

(0)
Taking over a new year 10 GCSE computer science class? Wanting to find out your current classes Python programming skills? This resource contains a list of practical Python programming challenges which test key aspects of the KS3 national curriculum for text-based programming language. Pupils are tested on: Mathematical operators Data types Dealing with strings Loops If statements Logical operators Random numbers Data structures (lists) and Sub programs The pupils are given a worksheet which contains 11 Python programming challenges. They need to work through them attempting the programs and sections they can. If they don’t know how to do something then ask them to move on and try to complete as much of the challenges as they can. This allows you to find out the gaps in their current knowledge. The results are then entered into a an Excel spreadsheet using a simple system of 0 (not met the criteria) or 1 (met the criteria) that is then converted into a list showing you the pupils current understanding displayed as “Secure” or “Developing”. You can then use this to help you plan future lessons to fill the gaps in their skills. This practical assessment can be used at the end of Key Stage 3 to help you and pupils when selecting their options or it can be used at the start of their GCSE to assess which areas need to be recapped. This resource also includes the completed Python programs for all the challenges allowing you to see a possible answer for each challenge making this easier for non-specialists and NQTs who want to have a little more assistance as they build their confidence in Python programming.

This assessment test allows you to assess your pupils against the national curriculum specification for Python programming. It should be used at the end of Key Stage 3 as a summative assessment rather than as a formative assessment. The national curriculum specifies that by the end of Key stage 3 pupils should have been taught to “use two or more programming languages, at least one of which is textual, to solve a variety of computational problems; make appropriate use of data structures (for example, lists, tables or arrays); design and develop modular programs that use procedures or functions (for example, sub programs).” This test allows you to assess if your pupils have met this criteria. It includes a 6 page PDF document which should be printed and given to your pupils to complete under test conditions. There is no practical element to this test and is completed through a written test. This resource also includes a mark scheme to aid the teacher in marking the paper and even includes grade boundaries and descriptions that can assist the teacher when writing pupils’ long reports. Duration: 1 lesson This end of unit assessment does assume the pupils have been taught the following areas: Data types Syntax errors Logical and sequence errors Inputs and outputs Sequence, selection and iteration If…else statements Drawing and understanding flow diagrams Mathematical operators (+, -, * and /) Comparison operators (>, <, >=, <=, == and !=) For loops (count controlled loops) While loops (condition controlled loops) Simple lists and 2D lists (data structures) Sub programs Passing variables between sub programs and the main program Local and global variables FREE BONUS PRODUCT INCLUDED As a special thank you for purchasing this product I am pleased to be able to also include a surprise FREE bonus gift.
