Computer Science (Optional II)

Grade 9-10

1. Introduction
Fast development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has made human life easier
and comfortable. A man who lives in one corner of the world can get huge information by clicking
his/her computer mouse and use it for his/her betterment. Due to the development of information and
communication technology the world has changed into a small global village. For better use of ICTs,
computer science is helpful and supportive. It is a vital part of ICT. So computer science is supposed as
an important subject in school education in this modern world. By the study of this subject a student can
be, innovative, productive, self-confident, and self dependent citizen of the nation by using ICTs in
his/her daily life. Keeping this matter in mind curriculum Development Centre (CDC) has given space
to computer science as an optional subject in the secondary school level curriculum. The reviewed
curriculum has included detail components of curriculum. There are general objectives, level wise
objectives, specific objectives, grade wise objectives, content, scope and sequence, weightage,
teaching/learning activities and evaluation procedures.

2. General objectives
On completion of the secondary level computer science students will be able to:
• give a short information about computer technology
• give a short information of operating system, application software and hardware and operate a
computer properly
• give a brief introduction about a basic concept of number system and simple calculation
• design simple web page
• give a short information about database management and use it in their project
• use computer as an educational tool

3. Specific Objectives (Class-9)

On completion of class 9, students will be able to:
• give general introduction of computer technology
• mention the impact of computer in the society
• give a brief introduction about external parts of computer and handle them properly
• describe IT Policy of Nepal
• describe operating system( DOS & GUI) and use it
• give a brief introduction about basic concept of number system and simple binary and
decimal conversion
• give general information (knowledge) about E-Mail and Internet

6. Teaching/Learning Method
Computer Science is a practical subject. Student should get enough time to play with computer for effective
teaching learning. There is also a theory portion in this subject which needs adequate discussion among
teachers and students. It is better to demonstrate computer while discussing. Following methods are useful
for computer science teaching learning.

• Question, answer and discussion

• Demonstration
• Problem solving
• Practical Exercise
• Project Work
• Field Visit

Project Work in QBASIC

(a) Menu base
(b) Modular concept
(c) File, editing, deleting
(d) At least one Date file should be submitted (Project work should be done under the
guidance of teacher)
(e) Document must include
(i) Algorithm (ii) Flow Chart (iii) Coding (iv) Output

Example of project could be

(i) Mark sheet Preparation
(ii) Result Processing
(iii) Telephone directory preparation
(iv) Billing of library system
(v) Billing of Monthly Schooling Payment
(vi) Payroll
(vii) Banking System etc.

Project book must contain as follows in sequence:

a. Cover page
b. Preface
c. Table of contents with page number
d. Back ground of the project
e. Aims and objectives
f. Need Assessment
g. Analyzing the problem
h. Designing the solution algorithm (Flowchart)
i. Coding the solution
j. Output using Dummy
k. Conclusion
