ICT (KS4): Examination Board ICAA in association with CCAE
Coursework=40% Set Task = 20% Final Examination = 40%
The aims of the GCSE course are to develop in pupils an ability to solve problems through the use of ICT systems, and to develop a broad and balanced view of the range of applications which are in current use. The course requires pupils to develop the ability to use ICT to communicate and handle information in a variety of contexts, to analyse, design, implement, test and document systems for themselves and others, to reflect critically on the use of ICT in the wider world, and to consider some of the social, moral and legal issues associated with the use of ICT.
The course is highly practical to match the nature of the subject, and much of the teaching is carried out by the use of practical exercises and by requiring pupils to complete a series of small projects.
The coursework component comprises a portfolio of work that demonstrates the overall development of systems from the initial requirements analysis to the final working system. This comprises a series of projects set throughout the 2 years. The set task is a single activity which lasts approximately 5 hours over a two or three day period.
