Assessment Scheme
The assessment framework utilises various types of continuous assessment strategies. This is meant to determine learners’ competences in the CSc
outcomes presented here. It is desired that the teacher as much as possible utilise assessment strategies that promote active learning by the learner. The
case in point includes portfolios, observation sheets (to gauge certain competences), written assignments and reports, presentations, projects and
experiments.

Computer Studies is a practical subject and as such this syllabus places a lot of emphasis on the use of common application packages. Object oriented
programming languages will not be examined at this level. It will therefore the schools’ responsibility to ensure that relevant equipment and software
needed by learners to meet the minimum requirements for assessment purposes are acquired.

The teacher may teach learners to dry run simple programs before they actually compile and run them on a compiler. The teacher may choose a
programming language for the leaners depending on the availability of such 4th generation programming language (4GL). However for uniformity purposes
the syllabus assumes Turbo Pascal for Windows and C++.

The final assessment of Computer Studies is divided into two sections

1. Theory (Paper 1) - (External assessment by the examination board): 70%

2. Practical (Paper 2) - (External assessment by the examination board): 30%

Computer Studies assessment at senior secondary school level covers the six categories of Bloom's Taxonomy with their respective weightings as shown
below:

It is important that the teacher balances well the teaching of the subject content accordingly. For the full details on paper 2 project work check the
appendix (page xiii).
