Abstract
We introduce the major changes to computer science (CS) education in Wales, UK, as part of compulsory school-level curriculum, qualifications and wider education system-level reforms. The new Curriculum for Wales (Cwricwlwm i Gymru) introduces significant changes to the discipline of CS, as part of a new interdisciplinary Science & Technology area. It also reinforces the societal importance of digital competence, increasing its prominence as a statutory cross-curricular skill alongside literacy and numeracy, for all learners aged 3-16. We introduce the high-level rationale and characteristics of this new bilingual statutory curriculum, as well as some of the challenges of its development over the past ten years. Finally, we consider what this means for school-level CS education in Wales as the new curriculum is enacted from September 2022 onwards.
我们介绍了英国威尔士计算机科学(CS)教育的重大变化，作为义务教育课程、资格和更广泛的教育系统改革的一部分。威尔士新课程(cwricwm i Gymru)引入了CS学科的重大变化，作为新的跨学科科学与技术领域的一部分。它还加强了数字能力的社会重要性，提高了数字能力作为一项法定的跨课程技能的重要性，与识字和算术一样，适用于所有3-16岁的学习者。我们将介绍新双语法定课程的基本原理和特点，以及过去十年发展中遇到的一些挑战。最后，我们考虑这对威尔士的学校级CS教育意味着什么，因为新课程将从2022年9月开始实施。
