"Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge" --Carl Sagan

 
 
     

Table 2 Table with suggested content for each career cluster

Curriculum Recommendations:

  1. Include both math and science content and thinking in IT curriculum, using context-based problems.

    There are three key points to this recommendation:

    • Include math and science content.
    • Include math and science thinking.
    • Integrate math and science in context with IT-relevant topics.

  2. Develop Math and Science activities specific for the cluster.
Why Math and Science Content?

Content is the vehicle to teach process. However, it is not enough to require that computer students learn, for example, calculus because mathematics teaches good thinking. Computer students should be taught content that is relevant to their career goals.

Math and science content such as statistics, data transmission, magnetism and data storage, functions, logic, and geometry are appropriate in one or more clusters. Each of these can assist in teaching math and science thinking while providing relevant content to the long term goals.
