INTRODUCTION

 

COMPUTER EXPERIENCE
OF PUPILS ENTERING
YEAR 7

Pupils join the school in Year 7 from about 30 different primary schools. Their experience of using a computer at school is therefore probably quite varied. It will depend on the financial resources available, either from government funds or more directly from parents and fund raising events. It will also depend on the motivation, training and ability of the staff of the school and most important on the time available in the curriculum.

An increasing number of pupils have a computer at home. For how many of them is a computer a toy for playing games on? A now forgotten birthday present? Do parents who buy a computer (and printer) for work have children who use it for work too?

A survey of pupils within their first term at this school should give us invaluable information. It will help in many ways - from planning the content and depth of future lessons to encouraging homework to be done on a computer.
