Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Project-based learning: In convenient groups, obtain, for example, the COVID-19 data and analyse it by looking at the overall cases recorded for the various 16 regions, active cases, recovered cases and deaths. Learners should be encouraged to use feasible technology to analyse data and talk about the appropriate ways of using IT tools. Project-based learning: In convenient groups, obtain the cases of malaria in the local hospital in your area and analyse them. Experiential Learning: As part of the analysis, obtain the frequencies and percentages, then draw charts (box plots and ogive.) for the data. Also, from the analysis, make conclusions and give recommendations to the hospital. Design a questionnaire/interview guide on "Student Environmental Surveys/Interviews" or "Student Harassment/Corporal Punishment Survey" and use it to collect data from students in your school. Make conscious efforts to enable learners develop and implement innovative and creative actions that reflect their level for application of designing a questionnaire to collect data and apply the knowledge to lifelong learning. - As part of the project, decide on the sample and justify it appropriateness for generalisation to the entire population. - Analyse the data by obtaining the quartiles, standard deviations and variance and make conclusions and recommendations based on the results. - Make summaries of your results, conclusions and recommendations of your project and present them using a PowerPoint, infographic design, MS Word or handwritten to the class or at a mini forum in the school or the community where the data was obtained. - Make oral presentations on the project by explaining the choice of project topic and its relevance, the choice of data collection method and the analysis, and talk about the challenges faced.
