    As a junior employee at a small software development company, you have


    been invited by a local college to deliver a guest lecture on programming. To
    prepare for this visit, your supervisor has assigned you a task: you need to
    research and analyse a portfolio of computer programs, with a specific focus
    on the concepts used to create a knowledge base.
    Vocational Scenario or Context
    This assignment is designed to provide you with the essential information and
    understanding needed to effectively present and share your expertise during
    the lecture at the college.

    Conduct a comprehensive review and analysis of the computer programs


    provided, alongside research into programming languages and their
    application in creating effective applications.

    During your research, you will define computational thinking and analyse how
    programmers utilize it to solve problems. This includes identifying and
    articulating problems, communicating features and processes, recognizing
    patterns, generalizing and abstracting required information, and representing
    Task 1 problems or systems.

    You should also explain the practical applications of software applications and
    how they address problems and fulfil client needs.

    Investigate the features and attributes of programming languages to elucidate


    their use in various contexts. Provide specific examples of problems each
    discussed programming language can solve and compare these languages
    accordingly.
    Describe the constructs and methodologies present in different programming
    languages, detailing their implementation and documentation. Contrast the
    implementation of these constructs across various programming languages.

    Analyse the application of logical principles to program design, considering


    mathematical and propositional logic, as well as the use of sets and iterative
    processes.

    Evaluate how the design and implementation of a software application can


    impact its quality. Assess factors such as adherence to user requirements,
    code robustness, maintainability, efficiency, portability, and usability.

    Checklist of evidence required Produce a thorough Word document report evaluating computational thinking
    skills and examining how software design principles and computer
    programming are applied to develop high-quality and effective software
    applications.

    Criteria covered by this task:


    Unit/Criteria
    To achieve the criteria, you must show that you are able to:

    Evaluate how computational thinking skills can impact software design and the quality of
    4/A.D1
    the software applications produced.

    Analyse how computational thinking skills can impact software design and the quality of
    4/A.M1
    the software applications produced.

    Explain how the principles of software design are used to produce high-quality software
    4/A.P3
    applications that meet the needs of users.

    Explain how principles of computer programming are applied in different languages to


    4/A.P2
    produce software applications.

    Explain how computational thinking skills are applied in finding solutions that can be
    4/A.P1
    interpreted into software applications.
