Aim and objectives of teaching computer science

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF
TEACHING COMPUTER
SCIENCE

Aim is a long term process.
Aim are psychological and sociological in nature
Aim are broader and comprehensive.
Aims are objectives
Aims bring desirable behavioral changes
AIMS

 UTILITARIAN AIM
 INTELLECTUAL OR MENTAL DEVELOPMENT AIM
 DISCIPLINARY AIM
 CULTURAL AIM
 MORAL AIM
 AESTHETIC AIM
 SOCIAL AIM
AIMS OFTEACHING COMPUTER
SCIENCE

OBJECTIVES
 Objectives are short term process.
 Objectives are physiological in nature
 Objectives are narrow.
 Objectives are part of aims.

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES
 Teaching learning of a particular lesson unit or sub unit
of computer sciences.
 A teacher has to place before him some definite and
very specific objectives.
 To attained within a specified classroom and resources
in hand.
 These so specific classroom teaching-learning
objectives, known as instructional objectives.

WHAT IS INSTRUCTIONAL
OBJECTIVES
• Instructional objectives can be defined as a group of
statement formulated by the teacher for describing
what the pupils are expected to do or will be able to do
once the process of classroom instruction is over.

HIERARCHICAL ORDER AIMS AND

Objectives

GENERAL AIMS OR GOALS OF TEACHING COMPUTER
SCIENCES
 Instructional objectives are quite narrow and
specific.
 They are definite, tangible, precise and functional.
 They are desirable learning or teaching outcomes.
 It brings in terms of expected pupils behavior or
desirable behavioral changes.

OBJECTIVESOF TEACHING COMPUTER SCIENCES
 Objectives of teaching Computer Sciences fall
midway between goals of aims of teaching
Computer Sciences and instructional objectives.
 They are more specific and definite than the general
aims or goals but less specific and much wider that
the classroom instructional objectives.

CLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONALOBJECTIVES
 In fact classroom instructional objectives, objectives
of teaching Computer Sciences at a particular or
entire stage of school education.
 The general aims or goals of teaching Computer
Sciences represent a hierarchical order.

TAXONOMY OF EDUCATIONAL AND INSTRUCTIONAL
OBJECTIVES
 Taxonomy means a system of classification.
 In this sense taxonomy like Bloom’s taxonomy
presents a system of classification of the objectives
in the similar way as Dewey’s decimal system.
 The taxonomy of educational and instructional
objectives has been worked out on the assumption
 That the teaching-learning process may be
conceived as an attempt to change the behavior of
pupils.

BEHAVIOR IS DIVIDED INTO THREE DOMAINS
Cognitive
Domain
Affective
Domain
Psychomotor
Domain

 Cognitive domain has been presented by Dr B.S Bloom
1956
 Affective domain presented by Krathwohl in 1964
 Psychomotor domain presented by Harrow in 1972
and Simpson in 1966

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
 Bloom and his associates have classified the
objectives related to cognitive domain into six
categories.
 They are arranged from the lowest to the highest
level of functioning .

COGNITIVE DOMAIN(KNOWING)
Knowledge
Comprehension
Application
Analysis
Synthesis
Evaluation

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
1) Knowledge
a) Knowledge of Specifics
I. Knowledge of terminology
II. Knowledge of specific facts
b) Knowledge of ways and means of dealing with
specifics.
I. Knowledge of conventions
II. Knowledge of trends and sequences
III. Knowledge of criteria
IV. Knowledge of classifications and categories

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
c) Knowledge of universals and abstractions in a field
I. Knowledge of principles and generalizations
II. Knowledge of theories and structures.
Action verb:
Define, measure, label, recall, write recognize, select
etc.

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
1) Knowledge:
a) It represents the lowest level of the objectives
b) It is belonging to the cognitive domain and
primarily aims for the acquisition of the knowledge
concerning.

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
2) Comprehension
a) Translation
b) Interpretation
c) Extrapolation
Action verb:
Change, classify, explain, identify, illustrate, justify,
cite examples, discriminate.

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
2) Comprehension
a) It is based upon knowledge.
b) If there is no knowledge there will be no
comprehension.
c) It involves basic understanding of methods, facts,
principle or theories.

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
3) Application
Action verb:
Access, change, choose, conduct, construct,
demonstrate, explain, modify, perform,
solve,use,discover.

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
3) Application
a) The knowledge is useful only when it is applied.
b) The application of idea, concept, principle or
theory may be possible when grasped and
understood properly.
c) It involves both the earlier categories i.e.
knowledge and comprehension

 COGNITIVE DOMAIN
4) Analysis
a) Analysis of elements
b) Analysis of relationship
ActionVerb:
Analyze, associate, compare, conclude, critize,
resolve, select, separate.

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
4) Analysis
a) Analysis refers to understanding at higher level.
b) It is a complex cognitive process that involves
knowledge, comprehension, and application.
c) The realization of these objectives is to acquire the
necessary skill in drawing inferences,
discriminating or elements of a concept, principle
or theory.

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
5) Synthesis
a) Production of unique communication
b) Production of a plan or a proposed set of
operations
c) Derivation of a set of set of abstract relations.
Action verb:
Argue, conclude, combine, discuss, generalize,
integrate, organize, prove, summarize, synthesize
etc.

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
5) Synthesis
a) This category is to acquire the necessary
ability to combine the different elements or
components of an idea, object, concept.
b) It involves the knowledge, comprehension,
application as well as analysis.

COGNITIVE DOMAIN

Associate, choose, compare, judge, verify, identify,
recognise, relate, select, conclude etc.

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
6) Evaluation

hands, neck etc.

4) Perceptual Abilities:
a) This development of motor abilities related
with the perception belongs to this
category of objectives.
b) When some meaning is attaches to

c) This movements relate to art of dancing, diving,
playing games, skating, typing etc.

6) Non Discursive Communication:
a) This category represents the highest level of the
psychomotor behavior.
b) This movements relate with the inner feelings and
