Verbs: What students do and associated pedagogy

Verbs: What students do
Associated Pedagody
Assess
Students should be supported in developing criteria with which to assess ideas/elements/design that meet their brief. This requires scaffolding and support in thinking. It also requires collaboration as students negotiate a range of perspectives on issues and success criteria.

Manage
The implication here is that students are managing... and therefore the teacher's role must change to that of facilitator and support. Students should be managing their own projects, and will be required to develop timelines and plans to manage the process.

Design
When students design a solution to a problem they consider how users will be presented with data, the degree of interaction with that data and the various types of computational processing.

Students develop a design for their selected solution by breaking down the outcome into defined, simple tasks. The teacher supports the students and offers feedback.

Plan
Students are taught to plan for sustainable use of resources when managing projects and take into account ethical, health and safety considerations and personal and social beliefs and values.

Identify
To identify one must establish or indicate who or what someone or something is.

Investigate
This could be implemented through a group task where students are evaluating designed solutions. The teacher supports the students’ investigation.
