| Popis: | A comprehensive understanding of computing has become a necessary skill for students in an increasingly digital world. Consequently, many countries around the world have updated their national pre-tertiary curriculum to include the topic of computing. However, the structure and presentation of these curricula varies greatly. This makes it difficult to compare the timing that students are exposed to computing and as a result, increases the difficulty for producing effective and well-timed educational resources that are relevant for varying implementations. This research investigates the structure of international computing curricula, identifying and comparing the timing that students are exposed to computing. This will better inform researchers and resource developers about where and when their interventions are most applicable. This will also provide valuable insights for the creation of future computing curricula, by informing curriculum designers about the perspectives of various curricula and the most common approaches they have taken. |
