Computer Science Curriculum Development Model

This Model is a guide map tool for developing the Student-Centric Computer Science curriculum at Secondary School Level (grades 9 to 12).

    Computational thinking is the core source of Computer Science discipline. The objective of computational thinking is to solve problems in an algorithmic way. Computation thinking is required to be taught in an unplugged programming way which does not require a physical Computer device.
    As Computer Science is a technological advancement subject, thus the curriculum is required to include examples from interdisciplinary horizontal and vertical subjects. The Flesch-Kincaid readability tool helps to judge the language of a textbook as per grade standard. The curriculum designers can use several readability tools within their social context that help to standardize the textbook as per student ability.
    The learning should be exploratory based on student individual interest ability. The student interested in drawing arts can choose graphics areas, and block based programming to explore CS concepts. Similarly, students interested in Mathematics and problem solving can explore the text-based Programming areas. The students interested in content creations can explore data areas. Artificial Intelligence tools are widely used that consume the data generated by users. Various AI models are used to solve the problem specific tasks.

Committee Member for Computer Science Curriculum

For Student-Centric curriculum, the committee members requires to include educational stakeholders

  • Student presently attending session - Learning Practice
  • Alumni Students - Application of Knowledge
  • Curriculum Designers - Emphasis on End-Users (Teachers / Student) stakeholders
  • Principal - Resources required for CS subject
  • Subject Expert - Textbook writers to create the Student Engaging contents

Curriculum Balance Approach for Globalized and Localized Contents

  The balanced curriculum includes both localized and gobalized learning resources. The balanced curriculum includes both localized and globalized learning resources. Localized learning resources help students to understand and implement concepts in a practical way with the facility of adequate resources in their areas. The globalized learning resources will help to standardize the curriculum standard across the globe that promotes innovation and knowledge sharing.

Curiculum Weightage for Localized and Globalized Contents

This weightage would help to structure the CS curriculum by including both localized and globalized learning resources. The localized learning resources decrease with the upper grade's and proportionately increase the globalized learning resources.

Note: 15% weightage value to each Arrow
