This course seeks to enable participants to prepare participants to write the CSEC and CAPE Information Technology and Computer Science examinations. Participants would be required to analyse knowledge domain of these syllabuses and recommend mode, methods and materials suitable for conducting teaching/learning activities. Emphasis would be placed on the investigation of ways to guide secondary school students in acquiring knowledge and skills in the more challenging areas of the CSEC and CAPE syllabuses. Participants would be required to develop skills to effectively manage the Internal Assessment component of these syllabuses and to assess students' projects.

The course is designed for graduating teachers preparing Grades 10 and 11 students for CXC English B examinations as a direct response to the need to raise the levels of competence required for successful delivery of the CXC programme.  While the course is for the selective group, its theoretical and pedagogical principles are particularly useful for teachers preparing students for the Grade 12 and 13 (CAPE) literature programme.
