| Self-Assessment
Activities These self-assessment activities list the techniques that
pupils need in order to develop their ICT capabilities in Key Stages
1 and 2 and Key Stage 3. While some schools may want to use the activities
as 'tick sheets' for teachers to monitor the pupils' techniques, a more
effective use would be to use them as self-assessment tools for pupils
to monitor their own progress. These activities may be easier with older
children, but younger children could either do them as a whole-class
activity, focusing on only one area at a time or with ICT partners from
older classes. When used on the computer the pupils are given a score
and (for Key Stages 1 and 2) simple feedback based on their responses.
The activities can also be printed out and completed away from the computer. Ideally, Year 4 and older would carry out the self-assessment activity at the end of each term. The pupil would fill in their score and date in the chart and save their work. The next term they would change any necessary answers and add their new score in the chart. They would be able to monitor their own progress and see what areas they needed to focus on. In order to use a self-assessment activity, the file must be run in Excel. The pupils type a 'y' in the appropriate column for each statement. The program automatically totals their score. If two 'y's are placed on the same line the computer will read the first one. The 'y' that is no longer relevant must be deleted. |
