dig101a-2024-u1 - Enhancing Digital Solutions with OOP

See also: dig101a-2024

to do

• Sample unit plans
  • ACARA work sample - python game development - is very detailed and long
  • What do the data really reveal? - detailed assessment task
• Assessment
• What are some appropriate types and levels
  • ACARA sample work stuff
  • CSER links explicitly to the cognitive verbs
  • CSER - breaks out the achievement standards
• Grok
• What learning resources are there

Cameron's initial design

Building on Year 9, this unit focuses on enhancing the sustainability projects with advanced digital technologies, particularly object-oriented programming, to create functional digital applications that address environmental issues.

Weeks 1-15: Enhancing Digital Solutions with Object-Oriented Programming

• Focus: Introduction and application of object-oriented programming to enhance sustainability projects.
• Curriculum Content:
  • AC9TDI10P09: Implement, modify, and debug modular programs.
  • AC9TDI10P10: Evaluate digital solutions against design criteria.
• Elaborations:
• Learning and applying object-oriented programming concepts.
• Assessing the effectiveness of the Year 9 prototype and identifying areas for enhancement.
• Student Activities: Programming tutorials and project development sessions.
• Assessment: Progress report documenting the enhancement process.

DJ's thoughts

Add a couple more content descriptions and shape into a developmental sequence that achives the goal - enhancing digital solutions.

• Revisit programming and gain experience using project management tools

  Some of these (e.g. the first two) might just be revision - touching on these to ensure students have some capability - Revisit algorithm design - AC9TDI10P05 - design algorithms involving logical operators and represent them as flowcarts and pseudocode - Debugging and understanding code
  - AC9TDI10P06 - validate algorithms & programs by comparing output against a range of test cases - actual programming - AC9TDI10P09 - Implement, modify, and debug modular programs

  Some of the above could be done while evaluating/refamiliarising students with the Year 9 prototype

  Leading up to the assessable work. Introduce the notion of OOP and a more collaborative approach to code. - AC9TDI10P09 - Implement, modify, and debug modular programs - focus on OOP - AC9TDI10P12 - Use simple project management tools to manage individual and collaborative agile projects

• Evaluate and design

  • AC9TDI10P04 - define and decompse real-world problems with design criteria by interviewing stakeholders to create user stories
  • AC9TDI10P08 - generate, modify, communicate and criticall evaluate alternative designs
  • AC9TDI10P09 - Implement, modify, and debug modular programs

Relevant standards elaborations

• decomposition of real-world problems
• design and validation of algorithms
• development and modification of innovative digital solutions
• implementation of algorithms, including in an OOP
• use of advanced features of digital tools to / plan, collaborate and manage agile projects
• plan and manage projects using an iterative and collaborative approach, identifying risks and considering saftey and sustainability

Learning experiences

AfL

• Regular lesson "exit" tickets to QLearn - KWL/3-2-1 etc.
• project milestones

Learning

• Draw on cogntive verbs/achievement standards for ⅞ and 9/10

Assessment

Part 1 K&S development (sample task)

• Sample task uses the idea of two parts to an assessment task with the first being K&S development
• 15 activities to provide the necessary skills - in this case around a specific data set
• These could be taken from Grok learning - python coding type activities -

Part 2 - Understanding and skill application (assessment)

• students choose their dataset
