Reviewed by: James Woodhouse

Published

Problem processes refer to the steps taken to solve problems using computers. In GCSE Computer Science, this involves understanding a problem, planning how to solve it, and then creating a program or an algorithm to find the solution. Problem processes include breaking down the problem into smaller, more manageable parts, similar to solving a puzzle one piece at a time. It also involves testing and refining your solution to ensure it works correctly. These processes help students think logically and systematically, which are important skills in computing and many other areas of life.
