Textbooks for the teaching of computing
This discussion document, originally commissioned by the School Curriculum and Assessment Committee, is intended to promote a well-informed conversation in the computing education community about the following questions:
1. To what extent would high-quality textbooks raise the quality of teaching and learning in computing at school?
2. Is it advantageous to have such books available in physical hard copy?
3. Is there a shortage of such textbooks?
4. Where would lack of textbooks sit in a priority list of obstacles to high quality computing education at school?
5. How can publishers be encouraged to produce materials for teaching computing?
This report identifies the affordances and challenges associated with the use of textbooks for the teaching of Computing in key stage 3 and 4 and post-16.
