Abstract

The article discusses the problem of measuring of the schoolchildren predisposition to computational thinking in the process of studying digital technologies in the framework of project activities for the robots creation. The structure of the model for measuring propensity, ability and susceptibility to computational thinking is described. A high degree of gender dependence of respondents for the “propensity” scale was found. It is established that teaching digital technologies most of all contributes to the formation of schoolchildren’ propensity for computational thinking.
