Areas Covered

This unit consists of six topics, each more substantial than a single lesson and intended to be covered over the course of a week.

  • Topic 1: The IDE and programming basics
  • Download sample lesson above
  • Topic 2: Selection
  • Topic 3: Iteration
  • Topic 4: Subroutines
  • Topic 5: Recursion
  • Topic 6: Use of object-oriented techniques
  • End of unit assessment

There are six worksheets, six homework tasks, and an examination-style assessment test, each with answers included in this unit.

Summary

This unit covers the use of an IDE to develop/debug a program, and the fundamentals of programming including recursion and the concepts of OOP, while recognising that some students may have had little previous experience of programming and others will already be seasoned programmers. It covers Section 2.2.1 of the OCR H446 Specification.

No one programming language is taught, leaving this choice up to the teacher. These theory lessons could be run in parallel with practical programming sessions, and it is recommended that students code the pseudocode solutions that they write to give extra experience in practical programming.

What people say...

“
”

As DT teachers we often struggle to find resources that come up to standard so it was refreshing to find your resources which look fantastic by the way!! With this, my mind was made up that the cost of the resources was more than worth it particularly when I saw the offer of spreading the cost over three years.

I currently use your A Level resources for OCR Computer Science and rate them very highly!
