The Praxis Computer Science test is designed to assess the computer science knowledge and competencies necessary for a beginning teacher of secondary school computer science. Examinees have typically completed a bachelor’s program with an emphasis in computer science or computer science education.
The examinee will be required to understand and work with computer science concepts, use algorithms and computational thinking, work with code, manipulate data, and demonstrate knowledge of computing systems and networks.
The test is not designed to be aligned with any particular computer science curriculum, but it is intended to be consistent with the recommendations of national studies on computer science education, such as the K -12 Computer Science Framework (2016), the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) K -12 Computer Science Standards (2017), and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Computational Thinking Competencies.
This test may contain some questions that do not count toward your score.
