Part 1:
Preparing to use ICT in Teaching
a.
Aims and Objectives
The
teacher's aim for the sake of this case study is to develop learner's
ability to carry out a range of skills in order to be assessed
against the Key Skills curriculum for Application of Number in
the year 2000. In this case the students are working towards Level
1. The teacher will use ICT to develop and present a number of
worksheets to students. As we meet the teacher, he has used a
variety of methods of improving the student's ability to apply
their number skills to straightforward tasks, including didactic
teaching, textbooks and other print materials as well as the use
of videos for case studies.
Specifically,
the case examines of how ICT may be used in Application of Number
Level 1 Key Skills. This requires students to:
- Interpret
straightforward information.
- Carry
out calculations, using whole numbers, simple decimals, fractions
and percentages to given levels of accuracy.
- Interpret
the results of their calculations and present findings, using
a chart and diagram.
Common
to all Application of Number Key Skills the teacher also wants
to:
- Show
how number is used in differing jobs in a variety of different
vocational settings.
- Illustrate
the numerous opportunities for gathering evidence from real
work place examples.
- That
application of number is relevant to their area of study.
Questions
for Consideration
- How
do you currently deal with this area of work in the classroom?
- Do
you use any ICT based methods to develop and present information,
and how do you manage the use of these?
Keep
a short record of your responses to these questions for discussion
with your mentor.
