An approach to curriculum design for computer science

Abstract

An approach to curriculum design for Computer Science and similar disciplines as a formal model is introduced. Functions of education process as knowledge delivery and assessment are considered. The structural formation of curriculum design using definitive, characteristic and predictive functions is presented. Influences on the process of changes in a discipline are described and functions of the core moving and merging are introduced. Initial considerations on the development of the algorithm to determine the core of a discipline are presented. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
