Data handling in the National Curriculum
andSchemes of work

• BA QTS Semester 2 ICT curriculum
  Liverpool Hope University

2
NC Key Stage 1

• Pupils should be taught how to
• Gather information from a variety of sources e.g.
  databases
• Enter and store information in a variety of forms
  e.g. in a prepared database
• How to share their ideas by presenting their
  information in a variety of forms
• Children should explore a variety of ICT tools

3
NC Key Stage 2

• Children should be taught
• How to prepare information for development e.g.
  creating a class database
• To interpret information
• Investigate and compare the uses of ICT in and
  out of school e.g. use of databases in library,
  school office etc

gt schemes gt ICT

• Key Stage 1
• Questions and answers 2e
• At the end of this unit most children will
• know that there are different programs for
  collecting and presenting data ask questions in
  different ways to find things out
• To exact location

Key Stage 2Introduction to Databases 3c

• In this unit children learn to collect and store
  information involving more than two variables.
  They will use a database to answer simple
  questions by sorting and finding the top or
  bottom and searching in a single field.

6

• Children will be introduced to files, records and
  fields by exploring and comparing computer-based
  data and paper-based information. They will use a
  computer database, add to it, carry out simple
  searches and produce bar charts.
• Children will apply what they have learnt in this
  unit when using ICT to handle and present
  information in geography, science, design and
  technology, and history.

7
Collecting and presenting information
questionnaires and pie charts 4d

• In this unit children learn how to use a data
  handling package to create bar charts, pie charts
  and line graphs, and how to use this information
  to support an argument.
• Children learn to collect information in a way
  that it can be easily processed enter data
  correctly select and create an appropriate graph
  for their purpose consider how to frame
  questions. They also learn to compare the
  effectiveness of different charts and use their
  charts to test hypotheses.

8
Analysing data and asking questions using
complex searches 5b

• In this unit children learn to use prepared
  databases to answer questions which rely on more
  than one variable. They will present data in
  graphical form, print out their graphs and use
  them to help them answer questions relating to
  the data.
• continued gt

9

• Children will be able to build on what they have
  learnt in this unit when investigating possible
  relationships between data in history, geography,
  science and mathematics undertaking
  investigations that rely on more data than they
  are able to collect for themselves, for example
  when searching for information on the World Wide
  Web.
