This module introduces students to computational thinking for problem-solving in computer programming and the fundamental concepts and constructs applicable to most programming languages.
Students will learn to apply computational thinking methods to decompose, abstract, identify patterns to problems, and assemble a series of computer instructions that solve a problem using a computer program. Students will be able to explain and write computer instructions that employ the use of variables, input and output statements, decision-making constructs, repetition constructs, and functions. They will also learn to test and debug computer programs to ensure optimal performance of the programs.
