About
This quiz focuses on fundamental computer programming concepts, specifically vocabulary and principles from block-based programming environments. The content is appropriate for grades 9-12 and aligns with introductory computer science coursework. Students need to understand core programming terminology including algorithms, commands, debugging, and event-driven programming. They must grasp the relationship between individual commands and complete programs, recognize different types of programming languages (particularly visual/block-based systems), and understand how user interactions trigger program responses. The questions assess both definitional knowledge of programming vocabulary and conceptual understanding of how programs execute, respond to events, and can be systematically debugged when errors occur. Created by Shawn Kenner, a Computers teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-12. This vocabulary-focused quiz serves as an excellent tool for introducing students to essential programming terminology and concepts before they begin hands-on coding projects. Teachers can deploy this as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, use it for formative assessment to gauge student understanding of key terms, or assign it as homework to reinforce concepts covered in class. The quiz works particularly well as a review tool before unit tests or as a diagnostic assessment to identify students who need additional support with programming vocabulary. The content directly supports AP Computer Science Principles standards, particularly those addressing algorithms and programming (AP CSP 3.A, 3.B) and the impact of computing (AP CSP 5.A), helping students build the foundational knowledge necessary for success in advanced computer science coursework.
