Curriculum and Course Syllabi for a High-School Program in Computer Science
Judith Gal‐Ezer, David Harel · 1999
The authors served on a committee that has designed a high-school curriculum in computer science and supervising the preparation of a comprehensive study program based on it. The new program is intended for the Israeli high-school system, and is expected to replace the old one by the end of 1999. The program emphasizes the foundations of algorithmics, and teaches programming as a way to get the computer to carry out an algorithm. The purpose of this paper is to describe the curriculum and syllabi in some detail.
