大学理事会计划在2016年秋季推出一门新的大学先修课程-AP计算机科学原理（AP CSP），并于2017年5月举办第一次AP CSP考试。AP CSP并没有取代目前的AP计算机科学A课程（AP CS A），其目的是向学生介绍算法思维和通过编程解决问题。相反，AP CSP旨在吸引和服务于更多样化的学生群体，向这些学生介绍比AP CS A更广泛的原则。这门新课程旨在通过增加学生对计算原理和实践的理解来为各种专业做好准备，这些原理和实践在我们竞争激烈的世纪劳动力中至关重要。AP CSP旨在吸引更多传统上代表性不足的学生群体，而不是AP CS A。虽然编程和算法思维在AP CSP中很突出，但它们并不是课程的唯一重点。AP CSP旨在支持学生获得类似于完成非专业大学计算机科学课程的学生所获得的能力。虽然AP CSP可能是这些学生中的许多人唯一的计算机科学课程，但它也可以作为学生将计算机科学作为主要研究领域的催化剂。本文概述了AP CSP的目标，以及AP CSP的现状，课程框架和课程评估的更新。
T he College Board plans to launch a new Advanced Placement Computer Science Course, AP Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) in the fall of 2016 with the first AP CSP Exam being administered in May 2017. AP CSP is not replacing the current AP Computer Science A course (AP CS A), whose purpose is to introduce students to algorithmic thinking and problem solving through programming. Instead, AP CSP is designed to attract and serve a more diverse population of students by introducing those students to a broader set of principles than is presented in AP CS A. This new course is designed to prepare students for a variety of majors by increasing their understanding of the principles and practices of computing that are critical in our competitive 21st century workforce. AP CSP is intended to attract more traditionally underrepresented populations of students than does AP CS A. While programming and algorithmic thinking are prominent in AP CSP, they are not the sole focus of the course. AP CSP is intended to support students in gaining competencies similar to those gained by students completing a university computer science course for non-majors. Although AP CSP may be the only computer science course taken by many of these students, it may also serve as a catalyst for students to pursue computer science as a major field of study. This article is an overview of the goals of AP CSP, as well as an update on the current status of AP CSP, the curriculum framework, and the course assessments.
