ABLEWA Stage D
ABLEWA D stage description
In Stage D, students are building their independence and participating cooperatively in group learning activities. They combine and sequence key words and images to communicate personal interest and significant experiences and are beginning to reflect on their own behaviour and learning. They will have opportunities to create a range of digital solutions through guided play and integrated learning, such as using remote control cars or recording information with software applications.
Students begin to try different ways of carrying out common functions with digital systems and recognise patterns that exist within data they collect. Students explore ways to collate, represent, save and present this data, including numerical, categorical, text, image (still and moving) and audio data.
Students complete significant steps involved in using devices and software. They begin to identify and follow sequence of steps for carrying out instructions, such as listing the steps in wrapping a present.
Through discussion with teachers, students learn to apply safe and ethical practices to protect themselves and others when using digital systems for learning.
Knowledge and understanding
Digital Systems
Carry out some key functions on digital systems (hardware and software components) to meet a purpose (VCDTDS010)
Data and Information
Collect, sort, and recognise, with assistance, different types of patterns in data, and use digital systems to represent data as pictures, symbols and diagrams (VCDTDI011)
Processes and production skills
Creating Digital Solutions
Follow and represent a sequence of steps and decisions (algorithms) needed to solve simple problems (VCDTCD012)
Achievement standard
By the end of Stage D, students use key functions of digital systems and indicate their purpose.
Students collect, sort and recognise, with assistance different types of patterns in data. They use digital systems to display results using pictures, symbols and diagrams.
Students use a sequence of steps and decision making processes to solve a simple problem.
