I.C.T at Oxley Park by Paavan Chouhan Why I choose this topic I choose this subject because I enjoy doing ict and i wondered how much it was being used in different subjects and at home. I was also interested in what students thought about ICT usage. Introduction The purpose of this research study is to understand how ICT is used in Year 6 lessons at Oxley Park Primary School .e.g. How often it is used? What is it used for? In what lesson is it used most? How does it compare to other ways of gathering information e.g. there were 14 students in my study Comparison of how much actual time versus how much wanted time Maths 100 90 80 70 60 % 50 40 30 20 10 0 Maths time actually spent time would like to spend english 100 90 80 70 60 % 50 40 30 20 10 0 english time actually spent time would like to spend science 100 90 80 70 60 % 50 40 30 20 10 0 science time actually spent time would like to spend On this case the children want less time geography 100 90 80 70 60 % 50 40 30 20 10 0 geography time actually spent time would like to spend p.e. 100 90 80 70 60 % 50 40 30 20 10 0 p.e. time actually spent time would like to spend music 100 90 80 70 60 % 50 40 30 20 10 0 music time actually spent time would like to spend religious studies 100 90 80 70 60 % 50 40 30 20 10 0 religious studies time actually spent time would like to spend art 100 90 80 70 60 % 50 40 30 20 10 0 art time actually spent time would like to spend design technology 100 90 80 70 60 % 50 40 30 20 10 0 design technology time actually spent time would like to spend ict 100 90 80 70 60 % 50 40 30 20 10 0 ict time actually spent time would like to spend re l ig p. e m io us usic stu di de es sig n te ch art no lo gy ge i.c . og t ra ph y m at hs en gl is sc h ie nc hi e sto ry How useful is the computer in each subject? 10 9 8 7 1-10 6 (averaged 5 4 scores) 3 2 1 0 Series1 on ce ad tw ice ay ad 3t m i me ay or et sad ha a n3 y les on t im st h e ce a es no w ee nc ea k w ee k how often is the computer used? 6 5 number of 4 3 students 2 1 0 frequency of use on ce ad tw ice ay ad 3t ay i m m e or et sad ha a n3 y les on t im st h e ce a es no w ee nc ea k w ee k how often is the computer used? 6 5 number of 4 3 students 2 1 0 frequency of use My conclusion • My data shows that children want a lot more time on the computers • The children also found the computers very useful in the lessons that they were needed • My data also shows which lessons needed the computers and why.
