Abstract
We conducted a training experimentation on computer coding whose aim is to probe ICT skills enhancement of pre-service teachers in Morocco. For that, we have developed and implemented training sessions using a visual programming tool (Scratch) targeting 63 prospective teachers at the Faculty of Educational Sciences (FSE) and the Regional Center for Education and Training Professions (CRMEF) in Nador, Morocco. During these sessions, trainees were introduced to algorithmic thinking where they implemented teaching sequences in their specialty subjects using Scratch. Pre and post surveys were conducted to measure the evolution of the trainees' perceptions towards the integration of computer coding in the teaching and learning of their specialties. The analysis of the surveys showed the potential of integrating computer coding in the development of learners' transversal skills. The training revealed different possibilities of exploiting visual block-based programming environments in the teaching and learning process.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
