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.
Processes and production skills
Collecting, managing and analysing data
Collect and use data of any kind (ACTDIP003)
Digital implementation
Use data to complete a task (ACTDIP003)
Engage with information known people have shared in an online environment, and model strategies to stay safe online (ACTDIP006)
Creating solutions by:
Investigating and defining
Explore needs for design (WATPPS01)
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.
