The development of computing over the last few decades has been significant in terms of speed and scope. It has had an effect on all aspects of our lives, and its future course remains unpredictable. Computing is both a science and a technology, and has wide-ranging social implications. It encompasses a very wide field of study, merging at its boundaries with many other disciplines. Computing provides us with many increasingly powerful hardware and software tools. Our society requires more and more individuals who have the skills to use these tools, who understand how they work, and who have the ability to develop new and improved tools.

The Standard Grade Computing Tutor, Intermediate Computing Tutor and Higher Computing Tutor Course is not only about learning to use current hardware and software. Computing tuition is also designed to provide candidates with both the necessary knowledge and understanding and the practical problem solving skills to enable them to become the ICT tool designers of the future.

The importance of both knowledge and understanding, and related practical skills are reflected in the two Outcomes of each Unit. The ability to combine knowledge and understanding and practical skills to solve practical problems is a key theme of the Computing Tutor Course.

Aims
The aims of the Computing Tuition Course are to develop:
♦ knowledge and understanding of computing concepts
♦ practical skills in the use of computer hardware and software
♦ ability to solve problems by applying knowledge, understanding and practical skills
♦ awareness of the professional, social, ethical and legal implications of computing
♦ ability to communicate computing concepts clearly and concisely using appropriate terminology

Related to these aims, and underlying the study of computing are a number of unifying themes which are developed and exemplified throughout the Units of the Computing Tutors Course. These themes are:
♦ technological development and progress
♦ factors affecting system performance
♦ objects and operations
♦ syntax and semantics
♦ social, professional, ethical and legal implications
♦ the relationship between software and hardware
♦ computing terminology
♦ the development process as it applies to software and hardware systems
