Question

Definition of the role of ict in teaching learning of evs

Answer 1

Here is ur answer ....

Information and communication technology is now a mature part of the curriculum. Once restricted to upper secondary schools as "computer studies", ICT is now taught even to children in reception class.

But to compare ICT with "computer studies" is misleading. In ICT, the technology aspect is the least important. Technology changes over time, but the concepts of handling data and converting data into information are fairly constant and this is reflected in the terminology of the programme of study. Terms like "email" and "database" appear only as examples - the main headings are "finding things out", "developing ideas and making things happen", "exchanging and sharing information" and "reviewing, modifying and evaluating work as it progresses".

In the early years, the emphasis is on getting children familiar with the technology. For the first few years, children following the QCA or similar scheme of work will learn to use the equipment, and use the software for isolated tasks.


Later, pupils will be taught how to use various programs for a particular task and given opportunities to do so. They may present their findings from an investigation using several forms of information - pictures, graphics and text. At the highest levels of ICT capability, which should ideally be reached by the end of key stage 4, pupils should be able to design systems for others to use and to critically evaluate other people's efforts.

The recently introduced QCA scheme of work for key stage 3 is based on the assumption that pupils entering secondary school will be around level 3 or 4. By the end of key stage 3, pupils should be at around level 5 or 6. So what can primary schools do to ensure that by the end of key stage 2 their pupils can organise information and interpret their findings (key elements of level 3 and 4)?

The basic requirement is a scheme of work that develops pupils' ICT-capability in a variety of contexts, and ensures progression over time. The enormity of the task sometimes overwhelms teachers, but one advantage of a set of lesson plans based on a scheme of work is that the task is made manageable. Once pupils have been taught, as a class, how to insert a picture from an encyclopaedia CD-rom into a word-processed document, which may take just 10 minutes, the pupils can practise this skill.
