Emphasis in this book is placed on developing pupils' ability to build and apply ICT skills in a range of contexts. An extended chapter on coursework gives detailed step-by-step guidance on what pupils need to do to gain maximum marks for their projects. Practice exam questions at the end of each chapter help pupils develop confidence.

A new series of bespoke, full-coverage resources developed for the 2016 AQA and OCR GCSE Computer Science qualifications. Written for the AQA GCSE Computer Science specification for first teaching from 2016, this print Student Book uses an exciting and engaging approach to help students build their knowledge and master underlying computing principles and concepts. Designed to develop computational thinking, programming and problem-solving skills, this resource includes challenges that build on learning objectives, and real-life examples that demonstrate how computer science relates to everyday life. Remember features act as revision references for students and key mathematical skills relevant to computer science are highlighted throughout. A digital Cambridge Elevate-enhanced Edition and a free digital Teacher's Resource are also available.

Updated specification; first teaching September 2020. Specification code: 8525 Written by leading Computer Science teachers, this textbook will guide students through the updated AQA GCSE Computer Science specification topic by topic, and provide them with standalone recap and review sections, practice questions, worked examples and clear explanations of complex topics. This textbook:br” Prepares students for assessment with numerous practice questions for all topicsbr” Develops computational thinking skillsbr” Provides differentiated material with the 'beyond the spec' featurebr” Includes standalone recap and review sections at the end of each chapterbr” Provides definitions of technical terms, along with a glossary of words to ensure students feel confident with the assessment.

Covers the essential theory needed by students following a short course specification in BCSE Information Communication Technology (ICT). The text provides in particular comprehensive coverage of the AQA Specifications A short course.

This book is aimed at GCSE students. It provides comprehensive yet concise coverage of all the topics covered in the new AQA 8525 Computer Science specification, written and presented in a way that is accessible to teenagers. It will be invaluable both as a course text and as a revision guide for students nearing the end of their course. It is divided into nine sections covering every element of the specification. Sections 1, 2A and 2B of the textbook cover algorithms and programming concepts with a theoretical approach to provide students with experience of writing, tracing and debugging pseudocode solutions without the aid of a computer. These sections would complement practical programming experience.
