AS and A-level specifications in computer science encourage students to develop: • an understanding of, and the ability to apply, the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, decomposition, logic, algorithms and data representation. • the ability to analyse problems in computational terms through practical experience of solving such problems, including writing programs to do so. • the capacity for thinking creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically. • the capacity to see relationships between different aspects of computer science. Mathematical skills related to: o Boolean algebra o comparison and complexity of algorithms (A-level only) o number representations and bases. • the ability to articulate the individual (moral), social (ethical), legal and cultural opportunities and risks of digital technology.
• Unit 1 o Problem-Solving, Programming, data structures and problem-solving o 50% of AS o 1 hour 30 minutes on-screen examination • Unit 2 o Fundamentals of Computer Science o 50% of AS o 1 hour 30 minutes written examination
