ICT – across the Primary Curriculum PR1706CU
Introduction:
ICT – across the Primary curriculum is designed to address the subject in its own right and to examine pedagogies appropriate for children in the Foundation and primary age phase This module identifies ICT as an essential skill that should be developed, Furthermore, the contribution of ICT as ‘a tool for learning’ to support teaching and learning across the curriculum is introduced. The content aims to develop subject knowledge, understanding and skills in order to enable the integration of ICT into practice as a professional. The practical application of ICT is contextualised through theoretical perspectives, drawing on research and advisory material
Computing programmes of study: key stages 1 and 2 National curriculum in England Purpose of study A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has deep links with mathematics, science, and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems. The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Buildings on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.
Aims The national curriculum for computing aims to ensure that all pupils: can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation
•
can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems
•
can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems
•
are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology
Attainment targets By the end of each key stage, pupils are expected to know, apply and understand the matters, skills and processes specified in the relevant programme of study.

ICT – across the Primary Curriculum PR1706CU
Key stage 1 Pupils should be taught to: understand what algorithms are; how they are implemented as programs on digital devices; and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions create and debug simple programs use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content recognise common uses of information technology beyond school use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private; identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies.
Key stage 2 Pupils should be taught to: design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs understand computer networks including the internet; how they can provide multiple services, such as the world wide web; and the opportunities they offer for communication and collaboration use search technologies effectively, appreciate how results are selected and ranked, and be discerning in evaluating digital content select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact

CONCESSION / EXTENSION ADVICE FOR STUDENTS (in all module handbooks) Concessions If you find yourself in academic difficulties as a result of personal, social or medical factors you may wish to consider applying for concessions. In-Year Concessions Students wishing to make an application for InYear concessions (week 1, Semester 1 to Week 15, Semester 2) should obtain a form from their Faculty Office, normally one week in advance of the submission date for the piece of assessed work for which the application is being made.
ICT – across the Primary Curriculum PR1706CU Applications should be returned to the Faculty Office (Liz Havlin – SGC Foyer), accompanied by suitable supporting evidence from an impartial third party (a medical practitioner, for example, although in the past, evidence has been accepted from hospital staff, counsellors, the police and lawyers.). Supporting evidence from relatives or other students will not be deemed as suitable. A statement from a personal tutor will be helpful, but it will not be considered as sole evidence in itself. If an applicant is unable to provide suitable supporting evidence and Faculty staff are not able to assess impact of issues on student, the Faculty Office may recommend the applicant to Student Services, for evaluation of their application. This process may also be used where, due to issues of sensitivity or confidentiality, applicants are unwilling to state the nature of their concession. Long-term Concessions If, upon application for In-Year Concessions, it is deemed (either through the supporting evidence supplied, or by Student Services) that an applicant is affected by circumstances beyond their control for a sustained and identified period of time, then this will be reflected in the period of cover designated for the concession. Programme administrators, Student Services and Registry will note such concessions and ensure that they apply to all assessed work submitted during the designated period. Where an applicant is deemed to have made a successful application for In-year/Long Term concessions, the following courses of action may be taken: a) They may be allowed to submit a piece of assessed work after the previously designated due date, with no penalty and with further right of redemption. b They may be allowed to sit a missed examination, presentation or performance.
ICT Year 1 Module Handbook 2013 9
c) A piece of assessed work may be re-submitted for a substantive mark. d) A previously exacted penalty for late submission may be relaxed. Week
