CANVAS Development of Evaluation Criteria for Qualities and Abilities Cultivated Through Programming
Benesse and CANVAS have launched an initiative to
“Develop Assessment Standards for Qualities and Abilities Cultivated Through Programming.” A trial version is now available.
Moving forward, we plan to link practical examples from across the country to these standards, finalize a systematic set of standards, and provide support for the introduction of programming
into school education.
The website for this initiative is now live. We also plan to hold a meeting for practitioners in the near future.
