this will allow us to describe the psychometric con-
structs that we have in terms of Computational
Thinking (Wing 2006). In the long run, we hope to
identify several competency components of Compu-
tational Thinking in this way. At the end, these
might be combined to construct a structural compe-
tency model, suitable to serve as a framework for a
multidimensional test in large scale, e.g. in the con-
text of PISA.
