Pre-primary year Syllabus

The syllabus is based on the requirement that all students will study both Technologies subjects from Pre-primary to Year 8.

Year Level Description

Learning in Digital Technologies builds on the dispositions developed in the early years. Learning focuses on developing foundational skills in computational thinking and an ability to engage in personal experiences using digital systems.

In Pre-primary, students explore the uses of technologies in everyday life. They develop an understanding that symbols are a powerful means of communication and how they can represent ideas, thoughts and concepts.

Students explore common patterns, pictures and symbols that exist within data they collect, and present this data in creative ways to make meaning.

Students learn to experiment with expressing ideas and make meaning when defining problems. Students draw on their memory of a sequence of steps to complete a task (algorithm), such as packing away play equipment or completing a puzzle.

Students explore how information systems meet recreational needs. They develop an awareness of the importance of online safety when engaging with digital technologies.

Knowledge and understanding

Digital systems

Digital systems (hardware and software) are used at home, in the school and in the community (ACTDIK001)

Representation of data

Data can have patterns and can be represented as pictures and symbols (ACTDIK002)

Processes and production skills

Collecting, managing and analysing data
Digital implementation

Engage with information known people have shared in an online environment, and model strategies to stay safe online (ACTDIP006)

Creating solutions by:

Designing

Generate and record design ideas through describing, drawing, modelling and/or a sequence of written or spoken steps (WATPPS02)

Producing and implementing

Use given components and equipment to safely make simple solutions (WATPPS03)

Evaluating

Use personal preferences to evaluate the success of simple solutions (WATPPS04)

Collaborating and managing

Work independently, or with others when required, for solutions (WATPPS05)

Achievement standard

At Standard, students label digital systems (hardware and software) and where they are used. They represent data using pictures, symbols and patterns. Students follow safety strategies while they collect and use information from an online source.

In Digital Technologies, students explore needs for designing simple solutions. They generate and record design ideas through describing, drawing, modelling and/or a sequence of written or spoken steps. Students safely use given components and equipment, to make simple solutions and evaluate their success using personal preferences.
