PRIMERO

First course of E.S.O.


Now, we are going to develop an standard programming for de 1º course of ESO. It wil have to adpat to the own pupils.
There are 10 blocks of contents. Each of them has one didactic unit. The order of the blocks and theirs dates of evaluation, are shown in this table:


CLASSROOM
WORKSHOP
TECHNOLOGY-2
EVALUATION
BLOCK 1: Process of resolution of technological problems
BOCK 3: Skills of expression and communication
BLOCK 2: Hardware and software
BLOCK 8: Internet

1ª
BLOCK 4: Materials of technical use.
BLOCK 5 : Estructures
BLOCK 6: Mechanisms

2ª
BLOCK 7: Electricity and electronics
BLOCK 9: Energy and its transformation
BLOCK 10: Technology and society

3ª


The 10 blocks are going to develop in the classroom programming. They have the flollowing structure:

1.- Objectives
2.- Contents
2.1.- Conceptual contents
2.2.- Procedimental contents
2.3.- Actitudinal contents
3.- Methodology
4.- Activities and sequence
5.- Evaluation.

Although each unit will be developed, they are parts of one sturcture that is the first course. Because of this, the pupils will be making a proyect during the course which has the workshop work. The students will chose between one of these proposals:

1.- A Bridge
2.- A Chain dump
3.- A Merry-go-round

All of them have to move using an electrical motor and they will be smaller than a box which is 290 mm lengh, 200 mm wide and 250 mm heigth. The pupils will have to write a document, too. This document will have the following structure:





1.- Cover
2.- Indice
3.- Memory
4.- Plannig
5.- Economical budget
Graphic matherials (planes, diagrams, etc.).

The methodology will different denpend on the place where we are going to teach.. The pupil will have studied the lesson at home the day before and will have answered few questions. Finally, teacher will do a summary in classroom. The next day the pupil will have to solve a few numeric problems that will be correted.
In the workshop, the pupils will be done grups of 5 ó 6 pupils. This groups will be well organizated. They have to fill a small form, and they have to work alone. The teacher will correct and supervised the work and how it is made.
The computer lesson will begin with an explanation of the activity they will have to do every day. During the class, and at the end, the teacher will correct the activity.
