Baseline ICT Standards
What are Baseline ICT Standards?
Baseline ICT standards refer to the minimum attainment of generic ICT skills applicable across subjects that can support students in learning and to prepare them for future needs.
Also has a cyberwellness focus: Ethical and legal use Safe and responsible use
Cyberwellness focus
Ethical & Legal Use Respect intellectual property
Safe & Responsible Use Protect private information Avoid computer addiction Manage security risks Verify information sources
Generic ICT Skills
Basic Operations e.g. accessing drives and opening files Learning with Searches e.g. use of online search
engines to look for researches, data, images, etc Learning with Text e.g. use of Microsoft to write, edit
and even format essays Learning with Multimedia e.g. Powerpoint presentation,
digital story Learning with Spreadsheet e.g. use of Microsoft Excel to
do statistical analysis such as median Learning with Communication Tools e.g. email, blogs,
wikis Learning with Data Collection Tools e.g. use of Data
Logger to collect or transfer data
Ownership of each skill area
Learning with text – EL Dept Learning with multi-media - Humanities Learning with searches – Craft & Tech Dept Learning with spreadsheets – Maths Dept Learning with communication tools – MT
Dept Learning with data collection tools –
Science Dept
Expectation of teachers
The standards are generic and are to be integrated into core subject areas and project work.
Lesson ideas for teachers use can be found in The ICT Connection.
Structure
7 generic IT skill areas over 4 progressive key stages
Key Stage 1 – Primary 1 to 3 Key Stage 2 – Primary 4 to 6 Key Stage 3 – Sec 1 & 2 Key Stage 4 – Sec 3 to 5/Pre-uni Different attainment level at each key
stage
Example
Pupils are expected to be able to create documents for different purposes such as newsletters, reports and pamphlets at the end of secondary school education. Thus, they progress from creating short texts in Key Stage 1 to short paragraphs with punctuation and symbols in Key Stage 2, then to creating pages of text in a document in Key Stage 3, culminating in the application of these skills in Key Stage 4.
Outcomes at each key stageKey Stage 3
Pupils will 1. Work in an interactive media environment 2. Refine searches and collaborate using the
Internet 3. Organise text using word processor 4. Create presentation/document that can
directly access a variety of sources and produce multimedia elements
5. Manage, process and present graphically large data sets using spreadsheets
6. Export and process data using ICT tools
Outcomes at each key stageKey Stage 4
Pupils will be able to: 1. Locate, evaluate and synthesize reliable
information from multiple Internet sources 2. Communicate, collaborate and distribute
media using the Internet 3. Manipulate multimedia elements and
create a range of media products 4. Analyse and interpret data using
spreadsheets 5. Employ ICT tools independently to
collect, export and process different kinds of data and media
Basic Operations
Key Stage 3 Navigate in an Interactive Media
Environment Key Stage 4
As per Key Stage 3
Learning with Searches -Internet navigation and search
Key Stage 3 Refine Internet Searches
Key Stage 4 Locate, select and use resources (e.g.
online public libraries, encyclopedias) to enhance learning of curriculum topics (e.g. simulation to explore the effects of changing conditions such as a Tsunami)
Learning with Text -Word processing
Key Stage 3 Edit and Format Pages of Text
Key Stage 4 Use the word processor frequently with
accuracy and efficiency to complete assignments
Learning with Multimedia -Production and manipulation of multimedia content Key Stage 3
Link Text and Graphics to Other Sources Produce Simple Multimedia Elements
Key Stage 4 Use presentation tools frequently to
organise and present information and ideas
Learning with Spreadsheet -Data management and processing Key Stage 3
Manage and Process Large Data Sets Create, Edit and Format Graphs and Charts
Key Stage 4 Process data and interpret results to draw
inferences (e.g. number patterns and what if analysis)
Plan and design spreadsheets based on a scenario to solve a problem (e.g. which loan package to purchase)
Learning with Communication Tools - Online communication
Key Stage 3 Communicate and Collaborate Online
Key Stage 4 Use online means frequently to
exchange data, work together and share media within and beyond the classroom
Learning with Data Collection Tools - Data collection and transfer Key Stage 3
Export Data Collected Key Stage 4
Select and use appropriate ICT tools to measure, collect and process data to support an investigation (e.g. collect sound and images to recreate rainforest ecology online)
Are our students ready for the world of tomorrow out there?
They need I.T. for learning in the future! The world tomorrow will continue to
favour people who are I.T.-literate. To excel in the world out there tomorrow,
students need width and depth in your I.T. skills proficiency.
21st CC & mp3 & Baseline ICT Standards
21st Century learner is I.T. literate Baseline ICT standards is an
important strategy of mp3 MOE’s target for all schools
90% of students attain 95% of Baseline ICT standards
Baseline ICT Standards & Affordances of ICT
Certain ICT tools and skills present a more natural fit in certain subjects, topics and activities.
In order for students to harness the affordances of ICT in T&L, they have to first possess a range of ICT skills
A wide range of different ICT tools such as word processors, spreadsheets, social networking sites, collaborative writing tools, multimedia presentation and publishing tools will help to engage pupils in their learning while offering them opportunities to practise ICT skills.
Possible tools for various skill areas
