This curriculum guide provides information in both English and French for the teaching of computer literacy in junior high schools in the Canadian province of Alberta. A basic introductory course developed in response to the need to acquaint junior high school students with a general understanding of computers and their use, the program for grades 7, 8, and 9 has been developed in keeping with the elementary computer literacy program introduced in 1983 and the courses offered at the high school level (Computer Literacy 10 and Computer Processing 10-20-30). This guide covers four major areas: (1) The Computer Literacy Program (rationale and philosophy, major goals, core-elective format, program structure, core topics, provisions for differences in student backgrounds, course implementation, hardware and software components, methodology, and learning resources); (2) Program of Studies (junior high school computer literacy); (3) Elective Component (notes concerning the elective and suggested elective topics); and (4) Classroom Instructional Notes (evaluation, provisions for the gifted and talented, and provisions for the handicapped and learning disabled). Two sources of additional information on learning resources and support materials are appended to the English version of the guide, while appendices to the French version include descriptions of five software programs and four references in French.
