Nature of Computer Science

Computer Science is concerned with understanding, designing, implementing and using computing systems, ranging in complexity from the components of a single processor to networks as vast as the world wide web. Computer Science integrates theory and practice, abstraction(general) and design(specific). According to the present view, Computer science can be suited in a broader context of computing. The discipline of computing thus encompasses Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering and information systems, design and development of computer systems, networking technologies, design data structures, creating graphical animations etc.

1    The discipline of computing is the systematic study of algorithmic processes that describe and transform information: their theory, analysis, design, efficiency, implementation and application.

2.      Computer Science is the study of phenomena related to computers.

3.      Computer Science is the study of information structures.

4.      Computer Science is the study and management of complexity.

5.      Computer Science is the mechanization of abstraction.

6.      Computer Science is a field of study that is concerned with theoretical and applied disciplines in the development and use of computers for information storage and processing, mathematics, logic, science, and many other areas such as

Ø  Computation

Ø  Communication (reliable data transmission)

Ø  Coordination (coordination among networked entities)

Ø  Recollection (storage and retrieval of information)

Ø  Automation

Ø  Evaluation (performance prediction and capacity planning)

Ø  Design (building reliable software systems)

  Unit -IV Instructional planning UNIT PLAN Meaning of unit                A unit is a large block subject matter, which includes a series of meaningful activities designed to achieve the purpose of education i.e., to provide the appropriate learning experiences and bring about significant behavioral changes in the student.According to the present concept, a unit also includes the procedure of    presentation of the subject matter that means the unit is not only a block of content but also a method in itself. Therefore a ‘unit’ can be described as : ·        An integrated whole ·        A threshold, which includes a systematic arrangement of teaching methods, materials and learning experiences ·        That brings about the   desired behavioral changes in the learner. Definitions of unit ...

Lecture-cum-Demonstration Method

  Lecture-cum-Demonstration Method::      It is  one of the traditional methods used in teaching and it is also considered the "chalk and talk method" . It is a teacher-centered method as the teacher plans, demonstrates the activity, and explains the principles and concepts involved in it. Lecture-cum-demonstration includes the merits of the lecture as well as demonstration method. It attempts to filter out the disadvantages of both. Demonstration means ‘to show’. In Lecture method teacher just tells but in demonstration method teacher shows and illustrates certain fundamental phenomena. This method is also in accordance with the maxims of teaching ‘from concrete to Abstract’. The students see the actual apparatus and experiment and thereby they feel interested in learning. Points to be considered while using lecture-demonstration:  For successful demonstration following points to be always kept in mind, 1.A demonstration should be planned and rehear...

Difference Between Unit Plan and Lesson Plan

  Difference Between Unit Plan and Lesson Plan S.No. Unit Plan Lesson Plan 1. Unit plan is a comprehensive plan that outlines the goals, objectives, and activities for a specific topic or unit of study A lesson plan is a detailed plan for a specific class session or lesson. 2. A unit plan covers a longer duration of time (weeks or months) a lesson plan is for a single class period or day. 3. A unit plan includes multiple lesson plans a lesson plan is a part of a unit plan 4. Unit plan includes a summary of the curriculum standards being addressed a lesson plan focuses on specific objectives for a single class. 5. Unit plan includes assessment methods that will be used to evaluate student learning over the entire unit A lesson plan includes assessment methods for a single class session. 6. Unit plan is more comprehensive, providing a big picture view of the curriculum A lesson plan is more specific and focuses on the day-to-day instruction. 7. Unit plan is more strategic and overarc...
