LSK3701 EXAM PORTFOLIO. LSK3701 - Science And Technology. Scientific literacy is the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participation in civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity. It also includes specific types of abilities. 1.2.2 Technological literacy is the ability to use, manage, understand, and assess technology.[1 Technological literacy is related to digital literacy in that when an individual is proficient in using computers and other digital devices to access the Internet, digital literacy gives them the ability to use the Internet to discover, review, evaluate, create, and use information via various digital platforms, such as web browsers, databases, online journals, magazines, newspapers, blogs, and social media sites. 1.3 There are different types of concepts that build different bodies of knowledge and that may contain different kinds of representations of information (or different connections This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :02:00 GMT -05:00 This study resource was shared via CourseH in the brain) associated with the same concept. Therefore, on the basis of this explanation, learning takes place when children build up a representation (or connections) in their brain that is based on examples of a concept. By thinking about (or reasoning about) these examples, they develop a theory about the concept. We will now use the concept “bird” to illustrate how this works. When children learn what birds are and compare them with reptiles (by comparing and contrasting), they use their experience that there is an example of a bird (or a prototype of a bird), which could be, for example, a chicken. They will also know from a young age that there are other birds such as pigeons, doves and hawks, as examples of birds. With these examples in their minds, they build a theory of what birds are. They begin to develop a theory of what birds are by comparing all these examples. Children will then understand that birds have two legs, two wings and feathers and can fly. Children must build up a theory of connected concepts such as the theory of a bird. These connections (of ideas about birds, for example) are not made if learners are taught to memorise facts. Facts are remembered for a period of time but cannot be used to solve problems. One example of problemsolving with respect to the topic of birds is when children are given a worksheet and asked to name the animals on the worksheet and to decide if they are birds or not. Children will use their concept of a bird to solve the problem (or classification worksheet) and may rely on their knowledge of examples of birds. However, what they really should do is to organise the animals into groups according to their theory of birds. Therefore, they should ask such questions as: is it an animal that has two legs, two wings, feathers, claws and a beak, and can it fly? QUESTION 2 2.1 Design a seven-phase inquiry-based theme plan using the theme 'seasons'. Decide on the topic and the big idea within the theme and the big idea. Use the following table to structure your answer This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :02:00 GMT -05:00 This study resource was shared via CourseH TOPIC: Me and my body BIG IDEA(S): Life and living Phase Description of phase Phase 1: Conservation Teacher outcome: The teacher will read a story that introduces the learners to the human body. Learner objective: The learners will listen to the story and answer questions about the story. Phase 2: Cause and effect Teacher outcome: The teacher will tell learners why it is important to keep their bodies clean. Learner objective: The learners will discuss ways of keeping their bodies clean. Phase 3: Place Teacher outcome: The teacher will tell the learners where humans stay. Learner objective: The learners will draw the different types of places that people stay in. Phase 4: Change Teacher outcome: The teacher will tell learners how humans grow and change. Learner objective: The learners will list changes that human beings go through Phase 5: Adaptation Teacher outcome: The teacher will read a story about how human being adapt to different environments that they find themselves. Learner objective: The learners will listen to the story and draw different places that people stay in. Phase 6: Relationships and Interdependence Teacher outcome: The teacher will outline different relationships human beings have with each other. Learner objective: The learners will use their prior knowledge to see how their relate to different people around them. Phase 7: Diversity and individuality. Teacher outcome: The teacher will ask learners to sate how they are the same as their classmates and how they are different from one another Learner objective: The learners will list how they are the same as their classmates and how they are different from one another.
