Analysis of Scratch Project with Process Data

Scratch is a visual programming language which has been widely used in the K-12 education. The data generated during the process of student programming can truly reflect behaviors of students during their creation. Analysis of these process data can help us understand the thinking process of students thus does further researches on the students' logical thinking ability. To this end, this paper first designs a novel method of collecting process data using Scratch platform. Then a data analysis method for the complicated process data is proposed. Finally, by comparing with the static data, we verify the correctness of the process data and make analysis from the boys and girls.
