As both an awarding body and a publisher, we’ll outline how our specification will inspire and engage your students, address changes to the qualification and also showcase the high quality support you can expect.  \nOur up-to-date qualification reflects the fast-changing world of Computer Science-with innovative, future looking onscreen practical assessments to ensure all students develop the computational skills they need for an exciting future beyond the classroom.  \nOur qualification:  \n has up-to-date, practical on screen assessments, engaging and [accessible for everyone .....................................................................](accessible for everyone .....................................................................page 4)[page 4](accessible for everyone .....................................................................page 4)  \n features rich, future-facing, engaging [content ...................................](content ...................................page 6)[page 6](content ...................................page 6)  \n unbeatable and expert support every step of [the way ........................](the way ........................page 8)[page 8](the way ........................page 8)  \nOur Computer Science GCSE will see paper 2 taken onscreen, a practical onscreen assessment reflecting real-life programming in the modern world.  \n2  \nTeaching Computer Science for the future  \nIt’s shaped by you, for your students. That is why we’ve developed our GCSE Computer Science 2020 in collaboration with teachers and the computer science community, to create an engaging qualification that equips students with the knowledge and practical skills to thrive in the fast-changing world of Computer Science.  \nThe future of Computer Science is here. Which is why, our qualification, the first of its kind, provides a practical approach to developing computational skills. This includes innovative, practical onscreen assessment to ensure all students develop the computational skills they need for an exciting digital future beyond the classroom.  \nThe practical onscreen assessment approach will prepare students well for eventual employment because it gives an opportunity for the learner to be assessed on writing, testing, and refining programs in an IDE using Python 3. Being given two hours to complete a task also relates well to the real life time constraints experienced by many Computer Scientists.  \nMatt Hogan, Learning Manger (Secondary) at Raspberry Pi  \nCan I thank/congratulate you on all producing three full sets of spec papers in addition to the public exemplar assessmment questions-that is really fantastic effort and makes such a difference when teaching a new spec. The fact that we can engage with this level of feedback/discussion in advance of the first set of public assessment is testament to the superb resourcing that has gone into making this exciting practical launch a success!  \nPaul Baker, Head of Computing & Digital Strategy, The Perse School  \n3  \nAssessment Overview  \nPaper 1 Principles of Computer Science  \nPaper code: 1CP2/01  \n75 marks  Written examination: 1 hour 30 minutes  50% of the qualification  \nContent overview  \nThis paper will assess Topics 1 to 5.  \n􀄕 Computational thinking  \n-understanding of what algorithms are, what they are used for and how they work; ability to follow, amend and write algorithms; ability to construct truth tables.  \n􀆥 Data-understanding of binary, data representation, data storage and compression.  \n􀃺 Computers-understanding of hardware and software components of computer systems and characteristics of programming languages.  \n􀂢 Networks-understanding of computer networ","cbCaihq5YjtN9Dxs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihq5YjtN9Dxs","pdf",4625817,16,"English","# Assessment Overview\n## Paper 1: Principles of Computer Science\n## Paper 2: Application of Computational Thinking\n# Onscreen assessment","[{\"question\":\"What is the structure of the Pearson Edexcel GCSE Computer Science 2020 assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Paper 1 is a written examination covering Topics 1 to 5, while Paper 2 is a practical onscreen examination covering Topic 6: problem solving with programming.\"},{\"question\":\"Which topics does Paper 1 assess and what does it cover?\",\"answer\":\"Paper 1 assesses Topics 1 to 5, including computational thinking, data, computers, networks, and issues and impact.\"},{\"question\":\"What is required for Paper 2 and which programming environment is used?\",\"answer\":\"Paper 2 requires students to design, write, test, and refine programs to solve problems onscreen using an IDE of choice, using Python 3 with provided coding files and a programming language subset (PLS).\"}]","Pearson Edexcel GCSE 2020 Computer Science Brochure | PDF",1792467631]
