Explanation

Competence aims after electronic circuits and networks

The pupil is expected to be able to

  • To plan means to set up a course of action to reach a goal. The plan describes how we intend to reach the goal, and may show the link between activities, implementation and the goal.

    , carry out,

    To assess means to consider different aspects of an issue or point of view. It may also include judging the quality of a product or process. An assessment often results in a decision, a judgement or a conclusion.

     and

    To document is to demonstrate what we have done, preferably also how and why. There are different types of documentation to show the quality of a work process, a product or a service.

     assignments related to electronic circuits and networks, individually and in cooperation with others and give a reason for their choices
  • build and programme a self-chosen product consisting of micro controls, analogue circuits, appropriate sensors and actuators to achieve the desired functionality
  • connect various computer devices to a system, configure relevant components with the aid of software and establish communication between the devices to achieve the desired functionality
  • assemble and configure a small computer network with an Internet connection, carry out appropriate measurements and

    To explain something means to give a well-grounded explanation of a subject, an issue or something we wish to examine or implement.

     simple measures for securing the network

  • To explore refers to experiencing and experimenting, often encouraging curiosity and sense of wonder. To explore may mean to sense, seek, discover, observe and examine. In some cases, to explore means to investigate different aspects of an issue through open and critical discussion. To explore may also mean testing or trying out and evaluating work methods, products or equipment.

     sensors for electronic circuits and networks, and

    To discuss means to consider different ideas and opinions related to sides of an issue, and to argue for and against. A discussion can be ended with a conclusion. We can discuss independently and in dialogue with others. A debate among several persons on a subject can mean the same as to discuss.

     their area of application
  • carry out risk assessments and work in accordance with electrical and ICT security routines, and health, safety and environment routines
  • professionally carry out work in electronic circuits and networks in accordance with applicable regulations, assembly and installation instructions, and

    To use means to apply something or to carry out a task to reach a goal. To use, which is closely related to apply, is understood as to utilise or to employ, for example, a method or a tool.

     appropriate hand tools and machines
  • choose and

    To use means to apply something or to carry out a task to reach a goal. To use, which is closely related to apply, is understood as to utilise or to employ, for example, a method or a tool.

     suitable instruments and software to carry out measurements and troubleshooting, and

    To assess means to consider different aspects of an issue or point of view. It may also include judging the quality of a product or process. An assessment often results in a decision, a judgement or a conclusion.

     the readings against expected values

  • To assess means to consider different aspects of an issue or point of view. It may also include judging the quality of a product or process. An assessment often results in a decision, a judgement or a conclusion.

     the quality of their own work and suggest improvements
  • use and handle materials and equipment in electronic circuits and networks in a responsible and sustainable manner in compliance with applicable internal control systems
  • manage waste upon completion of work in an environmentally friendly way, and

    To discuss means to consider different ideas and opinions related to sides of an issue, and to argue for and against. A discussion can be ended with a conclusion. We can discuss independently and in dialogue with others. A debate among several persons on a subject can mean the same as to discuss.

Formative assessment

The formative assessment should help promote learning and the development of competence. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in electronic circuits and networks when they use knowledge, skills and critical thinking to solve assignments in the programme subject.

The teacher facilitates pupil participation and encourages the desire to learn through a variety of assignments. The teacher can give assignments that cover multiple or all the programme subjects. The teacher shall have conversations with the pupil regarding their development within electronic circuits and networks. The pupils shall have the opportunity to express what they believe they can accomplish and reflect on their own academic development. The teacher provides guidance on further learning and adapts the education to enable the pupils to use the guidance provided to develop their competence in the programme subject.


Assessment of coursework

The grades awarded for coursework reflect the overall competence of the pupil in electronic circuits and networks at the end of the education in the programme subject. The teacher plans and facilitates the pupils in demonstrating their competence in various ways. Using the competence aims as a starting point, the teacher shall assess how the pupil demonstrates understanding, reflection and critical thinking, and how the pupil masters challenges and solves assignments in various contexts. The teacher awards grades in electronic circuits and networks based on the competence the pupil has demonstrated by planning, completing, assessing and documenting their own academic work.
