Abstract

This research paper focusses on the competences expected from computer science novices in the domain of basic programming and how they can be classified. By means of a qualitative content analysis of current learning objectives at German universities and the perspective of university teachers, basic programming competencies are identified. Since the competency model proposed by the German Society of Computer Science (GI) reveals several deficits, competencies are classified along the Anderson Krathwohl Taxonomy (AKT) of learning, teaching and assessing. As a result, dimensions and subtypes of the AKT are revised towards a model specific to computer science aiming at the classification of programming competencies according to their cognitive complexity and knowledge dimension. The adaptation of the educational model can thereby help standardize curricula, and develop assessments and corresponding items in the future.
