posted on 2008-02-15, 10:26 authored by John Martin, Peter BransonThe paper is based on the Marconi Electronics and
Communications Technology Project. The project aims to
interest and educate a significantly larger number of young
people in England and Wales in Electronics and
Communications technology.
The Marconi ECT Project aims to support high quality
work in schools up to GCSE level. The paper describes the
criteria on which the project has selected content, and how
that content has been organised at the levels of ‘Starter’
‘Intermediate’ and ‘Advanced’.
In developing ideas for pupil practical activities, the
approach that has been adopted is what we call a ‘layered’
approach. The intention is that, depending on experience
and confidence, teachers need only look at ideas for pupil
activities to the depth of ‘layer’ that they require.
A questionnaire-based survey of pupils in eight schools has
been conducted to gauge their interest in a wide variety of
possible projects.
