COMPUTER STUDIES SCHEME OF WORK YEAR 8

Forward

The scheme of work designed for Computer Studies (Year 7 & 8) is intended to be used as a guide only, it should not be treated asa proper sequence for teaching and learning. The main objective of the year 7 & 8 CS curriculum is to provide students withfundamental skills so that they are well prepared to pursue the O level Computer Studies. Teachers are advised to take intoconsideration the availability of hardware and software and student basic knowledge in deciding the sequence of topics to betaught. Teachers are also advised to allow students to develop practical skills in using more application packages if hardware andsoftware are available.

The SHOULD DO section in the scheme of work should not be treated as activities to be attempted by good students only, otherstudents who show great interest in a particular field though academically weaker could also be given the opportunity to carry outthese activities. Many of the activities suggested allow you to assess student readiness and provide different options to challenge

and develop their learning to meet their potential.

Students are more likely to enjoy learning when they are able to be successful. They are more likely to be successful if they arelearning in a way that is natural to them, teachers are therefore encouraged to use different instructional approaches andassessment methods to achieve maximum student learning.

When students learn to analyze information they are able to gain a deeper understanding of ideas, teachers are advised to facili tatemore discussion and exchange of ideas when dealing with topics such as Social and Economic Implication of ICT.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of the Scheme of Work committee for their hard work andcontributions.
