National
Curriculum Programme of Study
Key Stage
2
National Curriculum Programme of Study states that pupils should
be given opportunities to:
1a)
use IT to explore and solve problems in the context of work
across a variety of subjects.
1b)
use IT to further their understanding of information that they
have retrieved and processed.
1c)
discuss their experiences of using IT and assess its value in
their working practices.
1d)
investigate parallels with the use of IT in the wider world,
consider the effects of such uses, and compare them with other
methods.
Pupils
should be taught to:
2b)
use IT equipment and software to organise, reorganise and analyse
ideas and information.
2c)
select suitable information and media, and classify and prepare
information for processing with IT, checking for accuracy.
2d)
interpret, analyse and check the plausibility of information
held on IT systems, and select the elements required for particular
purposes, considering the consequences of any errors.
3c)
explore the effect of changing variables in simulations and
similar packages, to ask the questions of the type: "What
would happen if…?"
3d)
recognise patterns and relationships in the results obtained
from IT-based models or simulations, predicting the outcomes
of different decisions that could be made.
