  1. Aligning the South African National Curriculum Electrical Technology Jenny Rault-Smith Director: Curriculum Development, WCED http://curriculum.wcape.school.za

  2. Outcomes-based education • is a methodology of teaching in which the desired outcomes of the learning experience are clearly stated to enable all learners to achieve these outcomes • a learner is expected to demonstrate the application of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes learnt in the classroom

  3. Principles of the curriculum Social transformation High knowledge & high skills Integration & applied competence Progression Articulation & portability Valuing indigenous knowledge systems Credibility, quality & efficiency

  4. What is a Learning Outcome? • A learning outcome is a statement of an intended result of learning and teaching • It describes skills, knowledge, values and attitudes that learners should acquire • There are 4 learning outcomes for Electrical Technology that learners acquire progressively over 3 years - Grades 10, 11 & 12

  5. What is an Assessment Standard? • Assessment standards are criteria that collectively describe what a learner should know and be able to demonstrate at each grade • They embody the skills, knowledge, values & attitudes required to achieve the learning outcomes

  6. The purpose & scope of Electrical Technology • Exposure to relevant skills, knowledge, values & attitudes • Preparation for career pathways and additional education & training opportunities • Electrical Technology affords learners the opportunity to carry out practical projects, experiments and real-life tasks using a variety of of processes and skills Refer pages 9 & 10 in the Electrical Technology curriculum statement

  7. Aligning the lesson on Electric Motors with the SA learning outcomes & assessment standards Everything you wanted to know about electric motors … but were afraid to ask Learning outcomes, assessment standards, content and contexts Page 13 

  8. Aligning the lesson on Electric Motors with the SA learning outcomes & assessment standards • Technology, society & the environment: • the learner is able to demonstrate an awareness and understanding of the interrelationship between technology, society & the environment • Gr 10: describe the interrelationship between technology, society & the environment • Gr 11: discuss and evaluate the interrelationship between technology, society & the environment • Gr 12 predict the impact of future developments in technology on society

  9. Aligning the lesson on Electric Motors with the SA learning outcomes & assessment standards • Technological process • The learner is able to understand and apply the technological process • identify, investigate, define and analyse problems in a given real-life situation assessment standards will be dependent on the particular activity

  10. Aligning the lesson on Electric Motors with the SA learning outcomes & assessment standards • Knowledge & understanding • The learner is able to demonstrate an understanding of the concepts and principles related to Electrical Technology • Gr 10: demonstrate an understanding of the Occupational Health and Safety Act • describe the principle of magnetism • describe the principles of electricity

  11. Aligning the lesson on Electric Motors with the SA learning outcomes & assessment standards • Application of knowledge • The learner is able to apply principle sand practices related to Electrical Technology • Gr 10:construct and comprehend single-phase circuits • Gr 11: construct and apply single-phase circuits

  12. Competence descriptions for Electrical Technology • report on learners’ level of achievement based on Learning Outcomes and Assessment Standards that are clustered in a holistic rubric Pages 51 - 63 Glossary pages 65 - 67

  13. Considerations for successful lessons • Provision of resources • Practical application • Well-prepared lessons • Well-managed classroom • Clear outcomes to be achieved in the lesson • Relevant to the learners • Confident teachers
