Diagnostic assessment for GCSE computer science - short course CH412 / H01
Summary
Assessment of subject knowledge is important to inform teaching. This short session introduces the free, quality-assured test banks provided by the National Centre for Computing Education, designed to reduce teacher workload. Two assessment packages will be presented:
-
Diagnose gaps in KS3 computing curriculum knowledge to ensure students have firm foundations at transition, or upon the return to classroom teaching;
-
