Skill-Based Approach-ICTL

Skill-Based ApproachSkill-Based Approach

The skill-based approach emphasizes student-centred activities with the teacher playing the dual role of instructor and facilitator. The teacher should:
• Provide hands-on guidance to pupils to help them acquire relevant skills
in each learning area
• Encourage pupils to develop their skills independently and systematically

Project-based Learning Approach
Project-based learning approach is student-centred. It focuses on individual or group activities that go on over a period, resulting in a final product,presentation or performance.For example, E-scrap books, multimedia presentations and simple applications. The product is focused on the learning areas and is integrated across the curriculum over subjects such as the English language, the Sciences and Environmental studies. In facilitating project-based activities, the teacher should;
• provide advice on project management procedures and task organisation
• monitor the progress of student projects
• give advice, tips and recommendations whenever needed
• assess the outcome of pupils’ work

TEACHING AND LEARNING APPROACH
Appropriate teaching and learning approaches are essential to meet the learning objectives set out in the content specifications. The teacher acts as an instructor or a facilitator depending on the types of activities and the learning outcomes.
In imparting the ICT skills, pupils will produce products based on the learning outcomes. Pupils are able to start at any level according to their competency and progress.
Information and Communication Technology Literacy (ICTL) lessons should be conducted using the teaching and learning approaches stated below:
Knowledge-Based Approach
The knowledge-based approach in this Programme requires the teacher to act as instructor.
The teacher is required to:
• Introduce the field of study in terms of concept, definition and terminology.
• Show and demonstrate the procedures for managing computer laboratory, computer
hardware, computer software, network and the Internet.
• Provide instructional guidance which will form the fundamental basis for
pupils to grasp the content of the programme.
• Encourage pupils to seek other sources of information and references to
complete their projects when necessary.
