Progression Pathways / Computational Thinking Framework
Algorithms
- Uses diagrams to express solutions.(AB)
- Uses logical reasoning to predict outputs, showing an awareness of inputs (AL)
- Represents solutions using a structured notation (AL) (AB)
Programming & Development
- Creates programs that implement algorithms to achieve given goals (AL)
Hardware & Processing
- Knows that computers collect data from various input devices, including sensors and application software (AB)
Communication Networks
- Demonstrates responsible use of technologies and online services, and knows a range of ways to report concerns (AL)
Information Technology
- Collects, organizes, and presents data and information in digital content (AB)
- Makes appropriate improvements to solutions based on feedback received, and can comment on the success of the solution (EV)
- Uses criteria to evaluate the quality of solutions, can identify improvements making some refinements to the solution, and future solutions (EV)
- Evaluates the appropriatness of digital devices, internet services and application software to achieve given goals (EV)
- Recognises ethical issues surrounding the application of information technology beyond school.
Computational Thinking Concept: AB = Abstraction; DE = Decomposition; AL = Algorithmic Thinking; EV = Evaluation; GE = Generalisation
