As a junior employee at a small software development company, you have


been invited by a local college to deliver a guest lecture on programming. To
prepare for this visit, your supervisor has assigned you a task: you need to
research and analyse a portfolio of computer programs, with a specific focus
on the concepts used to create a knowledge base.
Vocational Scenario or
Context
This assignment is designed to provide you with the essential information
and understanding needed to effectively present and share your expertise
during the lecture at the college.

Task 1
Conduct a comprehensive review and analysis of the computer programs
provided, alongside research into programming languages and their
application in creating effective applications.

During your research, you will define computational thinking and analyse
how programmers utilize it to solve problems. This includes identifying and
articulating problems, communicating features and processes, recognizing
patterns, generalizing and abstracting required information, and representing
problems or systems.

You should also explain the practical applications of software applications


and how they address problems and fulfil client needs.

Investigate the features and attributes of programming languages to


elucidate their use in various contexts. Provide specific examples of problems
each discussed programming language can solve and compare these
languages accordingly.

Describe the constructs and methodologies present in different programming


languages, detailing their implementation and documentation. Contrast the
implementation of these constructs across various programming languages.

Analyse the application of logical principles to program design, considering


mathematical and propositional logic, as well as the use of sets and iterative
processes.

Evaluate how the design and implementation of a software application can


impact its quality. Assess factors such as adherence to user requirements,
code robustness, maintainability, efficiency, portability, and usability.

Checklist of evidence required Produce a thorough Word document report evaluating computational
thinking skills and examining how software design principles and computer
programming are applied to develop high-quality and effective software
applications.

Criteria covered by this task:
