Workshop KS2, KS3 & KS4

KS2: ObjectivesAlgorithms • Algorithms can be

represented symbolically [flowcharts] or using instructions in a clearly defined language [turtle graphics].

• Algorithms can include selection (if) and repetition (loops).

Programs• A computer program is a

sequence of instructions written to perform a specified task with a computer.

• The idea of a program as a sequence of statements written in a programming language [Scratch]

• One or more mechanisms for selecting which statement sequence will be executed, based upon the value of some data item

• One or more mechanisms for repeating the execution of a sequence of statements, and using the value of some data item to control the number of times the sequence is repeated

KS3: ObjectivesAlgorithms

• An algorithm is a sequence of precise steps to solve a given problem.

• A single problem may be solved by several different algorithms.

• The need for accuracy of both algorithm and data [difficulty of data verification; garbage in, garbage out]

Programs

• Variables and assignment.• The use of relational

operators and logic to control which program statements are executed, and in what order – Simple use of AND, OR and

NOT– Use of comparison operators

Summary• Creating Formula One drivers

• Creative and cross curricular (Rose Report 2009)

• Dependencies exist between DL, CS and IT

• Pedagogy (Challenging perceptions and expectations)

• Computer Science is more than just programming!

• Curriculum alignment

• Silent ‘C’ (Computing) in STEM

• Even more silent ‘C’ (Creativity) in STEM
