Since then, the field has grown to encompass a wide range of topics related to computer science education, including curriculum design, assessment, pedagogy ...
Wolfram contends that this approach is fundamentally different from most of the use of Computers in the classroom (or Computer-based mathematics education), [8] whose role is to help to teach students to perform hand calculations, rather than to perform those computations and is also distinct from delivery tools such as E-learning systems.
The Specialist Schools programme ended in 2011. Since then, schools in England have to either become an academy or apply through the Dedicated Schools Grant if they wish to become a Mathematics and Computing College. [1] [2] As of 2021 there are few Mathematics and Computing Colleges left in the United Kingdom. [3]
The way forward for computing in UK schools. Also in 2012, Code Club was founded; another group initiative is CoderDojo. From 2014 a new PGCE in Computing has been offered by UK universities. From September 2014 in England, computing teaching was now compulsory from the age of 5. Computer science GCSE and A levels have been made more rigorous.
The assessments were introduced following the introduction of a National Curriculum to schools in England and Wales under the Education Reform Act 1988.As the curriculum was gradually rolled out from 1989, statutory assessments were introduced between 1991 and 1995, with those in Key Stage 1 first, following by Key Stages 2 and 3 respectively as each cohort completed a full key stage.
