Grade 11 – Computer studies

O-Level computer science

An introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming.

Learning computational thinking involves learning to program, that is to write computer code, because this is the means by which computational thinking is expressed.

Cambridge O Level Computer Science enables learners to develop an interest in computing and to gain
confidence in computational thinking and programming. They develop their understanding of the main
principles of problem-solving using computers.

Learners apply their understanding to develop computer-based solutions to problems using algorithms and a high-level programming language. They also develop a range of technical skills, as well as the ability to test effectively and to evaluate computing solutions.

Learning Objectives

The aims of this course are to help you develop:

•  Computational thinking, that is thinking about what can be computed and how, and includes consideration of the data required

•  Understanding of the main principles of solving problems by using computers.

•  Understanding that every computer system is made up of sub-systems, which in turn consist of further sub-systems

•  Understanding of the component parts of computer systems and how they interrelate, including software, data, hardware, communications and people.

• Skills necessary to apply understanding to solve computer-based problems using a high-level programming language.
