Darakhshan Campus
O’levels Computer Studies Teacher
The principle goal of education is to
create men and women
Who are capable of doing new things,
not simply repeating
what other generations have done.”
Jean Piaget
To apply the technology literacy and 21st
century teaching and learning skills and
approaches to enhance productivity and
professional practices in classroom.
* I will spend maximum time facilitating learning
and minimum time giving direct instruction.
* I will focus on enhancing student’s own
creativity. I will encourage them to come up
with their unique ideas in the form of Projects.
* I will focus on encouraging students rather than
praising.
* Subject : Computer Studies
* Grade: O’Levels
* Topic:SDLC

Encouraging skills
• I will allow students to choose
project topic from a wide variety
Listening and speaking
of applications.

Observing and monitoring • I will also encourage them to
come up with their own unique
skills
idea.
Questioning skills
• I will ask them to present the
project proposal in the form of a
Multimedia Presentation in front
of the class.
• I will ask students to do fact
finding through questionnaires,
interviewing, inspection and
observation.
• I will provide the students the
Project Management Checklist
which will guide them throughout
the Project.

Implementation Giving direction skills
Intervening skills
Encouraging skills
Observing and monitoring
skills
• I will distribute the expected
steps in the form of a handout.
• I will share sample layouts and
diagrams online. For example
through uploading them on
wiziq, wiki or blog.
• I will demonstrate the use of
MS Visio using data projector.
• I will demonstrate coding
sample programs using data
projector.
• I will monitor student’s work
and will provide assistance as
and when required.
• I will allow students to produce
different coded solutions for a
particular problem.
Testing
Intervening skills
Encouraging skills
• I will share a list of normal and
abnormal data samples through
LAN (local area network).
• To facilitate independent learning, I
will encourage students to test and
debug their own codes.
• I will provide assistance and
feedback on individual basis.
Documentation
Listening and
speaking skills
• I will ask students to prepare a
Multimedia presentation to
demonstrate the use of the software
they have prepared.
• Later this presentation can be
integrated as a help file in the
software.
System Evaluation
Giving direction
skills
Observing and
monitoring skills
I will ask the students to review
their work according to CIE
Project rubric to ensure that the
work produced complies with the
required criteria. And I will share
the project assessment record
card with them so that they can
make improvements accordingly.
Title : Project Management Checklist
Description : A checklist to guide students with project management.
Activity to be evaluated: Software development
Goal
I plan my work.
I synthesize the information with the
data gathered through fact finding.
I evaluate the results of my actions.
I identify possibilities.
I ask myself questions to help me think
about what I know.
I organize my current knowledge.
I think about my audience when I
communicate what I have learned.
I use my learning to establish new
actions or goals.
I collect the necessary information to
make an informed decision.
I explore options.
I make choices.
I make predictions about what I think I
am going to learn.
I formulate a plan of action to pursue my
chosen option.
I create opportunities.
I modify my plan if new information
arises that warrants a change.

 8 Teaching periods per week
 32 minutes teaching time per period
• Challenge 1: The main challenge is that there is
limited teaching time. The period is only 35 minutes
long.
• Solution: The solution is that I should be very
organized and well prepared. I should have all the
material ready before going to the class.
• Challenge 2: It is very time consuming to allow all
the students to present their individual multimedia
presentations.
• Solution:
I will allocate first 10 minutes of every
class for class presentations. I will ask the students
to be precise and concise in their presentations.
Multimedia presentations should be no more than 3
minutes.

Challenge 3: Availability of resources
Solution: I will request the school administration to
ensure availability of IT equipment required and
club periods for successful completion of the plan.
