Module 1 Unit 1
Outcomes
Did you identify your national curriculum documents in the activity above? A perusal of most curricula documents will identify specific objectives or outcomes, i.e. specific subject knowledge and/or desired behaviors to be attained while studying the subject, but also general objectives or outcomes. Note the definition below to differentiate between the 'specific' and 'general'.
General objectives can often include knowledge and skills that are pervasive and cut across all content areas within the subject curriculum. The ability to use ICT proficiently is often considered a general objective in many subject curricula. Another set of general objectives often identified within curricula are 21st century skills. Watch the video below, created by the World Economic Forum, that explains why governments across the world are advocating that educators inculcate 21st Century Skills into teaching and learning.
