新西兰教育部最近发布了一项新的“数字技术”建议，在高中的最后三年提供计算主题。该提案旨在通过提供对学生具有学术挑战性的主题来解决一些问题，并为他们提供更广泛的视野，了解他们可能在高中之后学习的高级主题。拟议的结构包括将数字技术作为技术课程中的一个单独领域，并包括一个名为“计算机科学与编程”的链，该链具有足够的覆盖范围，可以向学生传达主题领域的真正含义。
本文回顾了导致这一建议的情况下，介绍了高中计算课程的国际背景（特别是在美国），并详细研究了已公布的建议。报告还审议了在执行建议过程中可能出现的问题，以及如何解决这些问题。
The New Zealand Ministry of Education has recently released a new "Digital Technologies" proposal for delivering computing topics in the final three years of High Schools. The proposal aims to address a number of issues by offering topics that will be academically challenging for students, and provide them with a broader view of the kinds of advanced topics they might study beyond High School. The proposed structure includes having Digital Technologies as a separate area in the technology curriculum, and includes a strand called "Computer Science and Programming" that has sufficient coverage to communicate to students what the subject area is really about.
This paper reviews the circumstances that led to this proposal, describes the international context (especially in the US) for High School computing curricula, and examines the published proposal in some detail. It also considers the issues that are likely to come up in the implementation of the proposal, and how they might be addressed.
