FOREWORD Following a comprehensive review of the implementation of the National Curriculum Statement, undertaken by a Ministerial Panel of Experts, the Minister of Basic Education, Ms Angie Motshekga, MP, has announced certain changes that will be introduced from 2010. The implications of the national process suggest that the WCED work schedules can be used. These are guidelines, and should be used as such. Best Wishes

Dr. S. Naicker, Chief Director: Curriculum Development

SENIOR PHASE TECHNOLOGY

GRADE 7- 9

INTRODUCING THE WORK SCHEDULE

This document provides guidelines for teaching, learning and assessment in Technology in the Senior Phase of the National Curriculum Statement. The Work Schedule interprets policy, suggests integration of the learning outcomes and assessment standards within technology and sets a pace for teaching, learning and formal assessment. It does not replace the learning area policy document, but will help inexperienced technology teachers to teach and facilitate learning of technological knowledge, develop technological skills and promote technological values as described in policy. The teaching methodology in the work schedule follows the design process (investigate, design, make, evaluate and an integrated approach to communication). However, an experienced technology teacher could vary the teaching methodology by changing the sequence of the design process for teaching and learning. The work schedule is accompanied by a teacher’s guide that suggests methodology and possible resources. TECHNOLOGY Technology is defined as ‘the use of knowledge, skills and resources to meet people’s needs and wants by developing practical solutions to problems, taking social and environmental factors into consideration.” Therefore, the competencies learners must demonstrate in technology make it significant within the National Curriculum Statements for Grades R-9. The work schedule is aimed at

ensuring that teachers have a common understanding of the learning outcomes and assessment standards;

ensuring that all teachers follow the prescribed syllabus as presented in the National Curriculum Statement; and

promoting a common work pace within the province. Technology in the senior phase must take the learner on a journey so as to experience technological advancement in local (Grade 7), national (Grade 8) and international (Grade 9) contexts. Allocation of time Technology is allocated 8% of the 26 ½ hours contact time in Grade 7, and 8% of the 27 ½ hours contact time in Grades 8 and 9. It is recommended that technology in the Senior Phase be allocated 2 hours within a five-day cycle. Schools are encouraged to allocate two one-hour periods to support the practical activities. The work schedule is divided into four terms of ten weeks each. The weeks are indicated as 1 to10 per term and the pace for teaching, learning and assessment is suggested. Teacher preparation Use the work schedule and teacher guide with the Technology Learning Area Policy document when developing lesson plans to maintain a coherent programme for teaching, learning and assessment. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We hope that this document will assist you to meet the minimum curriculum requirements when planning for teaching, learning and assessment in technology. Sincere thanks to the teachers and curriculum advisers who developed the work schedules and teacher guides for the senior phase. Directorate: Curriculum: GET
