"Assessment Criteria for Qualities and Abilities Developed Through Programming" refers to the fact that the next version of the Course of Study, to be implemented in elementary and junior high schools starting

programming (learning activities that contribute to the development of “computational thinking”) aims to foster, as well as the standards for evaluating them.
