Technologies New Scottish Guidelines

Technologies New Scottish Guidelines How Do These Match The Existing 5-14 Guidelines? Sharon Tonner – Primary ICT Specialist High School Of Dundee

What is Technology?

‘ Technology – the application of knowledge and skills to extend human capabilities and to help satisfy human needs and wants – has had profound effects on society. ‘ http://www.curriculumforexcellencescotland.gov.uk/Images/TechnologiesCoverPaper_tcm4-477649.pdf What is Technology?

Why Technology In Education?

Why Technology In Education? ‘ Scotland has a strong tradition of excellence and innovation in technological research. This is especially true in areas such as engineering, electronics, optoelectronics, biomedical research, genomics and cell engineering. Scotland’s people need to be skilled in technologies and to be aware of the impact of technologies on the environment and society.’ http://www.curriculumforexcellencescotland.gov.uk/Images/TechnologiesCoverPaper_tcm4-477649.pdf

Learning in the technologies will enable children and young people to be informed, skilled, thoughtful, adaptable and enterprising citizens, and to: • develop a considered understanding of the role and impact of technologies in changing and influencing societies • contribute to building a better world by taking responsible, ethical actions to improve their lives, the lives of others and the environment • gain the skills and confidence to embrace and use technologies now and in the future, at home, at work and in the wider community • become informed consumers and producers who have an appreciation of the merits and impacts of products and services • be capable of making reasoned choices relating to the environment, sustainable development and ethical, economic and cultural issues • broaden their understanding of the role that information and communications technology (ICT) has in Scotland and in the global community • experience work-related learning, establish firm foundations for lifelong learning and, for some, specialised study and a diverse range of careers. http://www.curriculumforexcellencescotland.gov.uk/Images/TechnologiesCoverPaper_tcm4-477649.pdf

Technologies / ICT SHIFT from SKILLS to leanring through play.

Technologies / ICT SHIFT from SKILLS to leanring through play. ‘ As I play and learn, I am gaining confidence whilst using computer technologies and can use my skills in new and different situations.’

Being skilled in using ICT is essential if children and young people are to be effective contributors, and to communicate and interact on a global scale. http://www.curriculumforexcellencescotland.gov.uk/Images/TechnologiesCoverPaper_tcm4-477649.pdf
