COMPUTING KNOWLEDGE
Emerging
Learning is new at this stage. It may feel difficult for you to grasp all the new concepts and technical terms in class and in your end of topic assessment. You may make mistakes and confuse key terms but this is ok. Pay careful attention in class, ask questions and use the knowledge organisers to help you.
Developing
Your knowledge and understanding is still developing at this stage and you may still encounter problems remembering everything but you are improving. Continue to pay attention in class, keep checking with your teacher if you don’t understand a topic and keep practicing.
Secure
Your level of understanding and knowledge is secure at this stage. You can confidently identify correct answers and explain some technical concepts but may still make mistakes from time to time. Keep asking questions in class and making sure you address any gaps in knowledge in your recall grids and lesson tasks.
Advancing
Your level of knowledge and understanding is advancing at this stage. You demonstrate a high level of knowledge and understanding in your end of topic assessments and during lessons. You have a really good grasp of new concepts and key terms and apply these mostly accurately to real world examples and scenarios in your assessment. Continue to be proactive in lessons and read up on computer topics outside of lesson so you achieve pure mastery of the subject.
Excelling
You demonstrate a very high level of knowledge and understanding of computing topics and excel in lesson tasks and end of topic assessments. You have a comprehensive grasp of new concepts and key terms and apply these accurately to real world examples and scenarios in your assessment. Continue to retrieve knowledge from prior learning and link topics and concepts together.
PRACTICAL TASKS
Emerging
Outcomes are recognisable but lack creativity and detail. There may be lots of inaccuracies in your final product and attempts to create meaning and effect feel random.
You have a basic understanding of design principles, codes and conventions of your product and how these are used to create meaning, engage users or target audiences.
You have applied fundamental concepts, principles and mathematical skills to attempt to solve straightforward problems with inaccuracies
Developing
Outcomes are more complete with some signs of creativity and detail. There may still be some inaccuracies in your final product but more deliberate attempts have been made to create effect and meaning.
You are beginning to show an understanding of design principles and codes and conventions and how these are used to create meaning, engage users or target audiences.
You have partly applied fundamental concepts, principles and mathematical skills to attempt to solve a limited range of problems with inaccuracies.
Secure
Outcomes are of a good quality and show clear signs of conscious creativity and detail. There are a few/minor inaccuracies in your final product. Clear and obvious attempts have been made to create meaning and effect in a precise and deliberate way.
You have a good understanding of design principles and codes and conventions and how these are used to create meaning, engage users or target audiences.
You have appropriately applied fundamental concepts, principles and mathematical skills to solve a range of problems.
Advancing
Outcomes are of a high quality and demonstrate a high level of creativity, planning and detail. Inaccuracies in your final product will be rare.
You have a very good understanding of design principles and codes and conventions and how these are used to create meaning, engage users or target audiences.
You have confidently applied fundamental concepts, principles and mathematical skills to solve more complex
problems
Excelling
Outcomes are of a very high quality and demonstrate a level of skill, creativity and planning that will resemble professional looking products. There will be little to no inaccuracies in your final product.
You have a very high level of understanding of design principles and codes and conventions and how they are used to convey meaning, engage users and target audiences. You have effectively applied fundamental concepts, principles and mathematical skills to solve complex problems.
