Abstracting the Understanding and Application of Cognitive Load in Computational Thinking and Modularized Learning.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether modularized standalone sections within topics in computer science are deterministic in the performance of students studying subjects that involve computational thinking Teaching methods regarding this form of cognition within the realm of computer science is presented with a limited understanding in how students think and analyze problems when presented material with ambiguous forms of approach. The method and scope of the work involve the presentation of topics in computer science in a modularized form that determines whether correctness is a function of time based on cognitive load introduced in computational thinking concepts, involving base conversions of transposition ciphers and programming fundamentals.
