Units 3 and 4 Informatics 2016 - 2019
Implementation program April to May 2015

Why not ‘IT applications’? Information Processing & Management – 1992-2006
Why not ‘IT applications’? IT Applications – 2007-2015
Why not ‘IT applications’? ‘IT applications was ok, just not enough apps’
VET
Why not ‘IT applications’? It should be noted that ‘ICT’ is an unusually problematic term because it is commonly used to mean many different things. Among them are: 1. The … subject called ICT … 2. The use of generic information technologies to support teaching and
learning (interactive whiteboards, …) 3. The use of specific computer technologies to support particular
aspects of a subject (eg, weather stations in geography,…). 4. The use of technologies to support teachers’ administrative
processes, and the school’s management information systems, … 5. The physical infrastructure of a school’s computer systems: the
networks, printers and so on. ‘Shut down or restart?
The way forward for computing in UK schools’ The Royal Society, January 2012
Why ‘informatics’? The term “informatics” was first proposed by Karl Steinbuch … to refer to the general field of computer science. In Europe … this meaning … has remained. In the United States, however, the term … focuses less on … computer science and more on the application … to a specific domain. … the emphasis is on information, not data. … the point of developing or presenting information is so that people can understand and utilize it. … it is technology that brings these two aspects together. … [rather than programming] the technology is more about working with information. Fundamentally, in informatics the focus of technology is delivering information to people.
‘Preparing High School Students for College with Informatics’ Stephen J. Zilora, 2010
Why ‘informatics’? A study of informatics prepares you for just about any professional work available now or likely in the future, and gives you skills relevant to creative and advanced aspects of other fields. Whether your interests lean towards the business, creative arts, humanities or scientific disciplines, or towards the subject areas of informatics itself, the generic knowledge and skills you gain will continue to be relevant and useful, and applicable as your career and personal interests change.

Informatics is about using computers to work with digital information – gathering, using, storing, … data. … in all types of settings, such a finance, economics, journalism, biology, …
Informatics
q Puts emphasis onto data and information q Students can learn to become
• informed users • producers rather than consumers
q A generic skill set that can cater to a wide range of interests/jobs/professions into the future
q An enabling discipline

No specific software tool
Key changes
q Specification of software tools q Outcome 1 (Online communities) gone, so
• No prototype website • Networks no longer directly covered in Unit 3/4
q User flow diagrams included in RDBMS q School-assessed Task (project over two outcomes) q Data analytics q Introduction of types of thinking
Software tools – example Unit 3
… software tools that students are required to both STUDY and USE in this unit
Area of Study 1 • A relational database management system
• Drawing or graphics software
… software tools that students are required to USE, but not required to study, in this unit
Area of Study 2
• Appropriate tool for documenting project plans
• Software tools to capture, store, prepare and manipulate data

Unit 3 AoS 1 Organisations & Data Management
U3O1: The outcome
IT Applications (U3O2) On completion of this unit the student should be able to design, and develop using a relational database management system, a solution to an information problem, and discuss why and how data is acquired via websites
Informatics (U3O1) On completion of this unit the student should be able to design a solution, develop it using a relational database management system, and diagrammatically represent how users interact with an online solution when supplying data for a transaction.
U3O1: Changes from current U3O2 q Teacher to provide two design briefs
• Online transaction • RDBMS
q For the online transaction component, students design a user flow diagram & user interface (‘start’ page)
q Key knowledge: • 4 KKs dealing with online communities now look at
organisations using online transactions • 2 KKs added to cover design for online component • Use of the term ‘security control’ • Comparison of RDBMS with flat-file DB • ‘Data types’ now defined and refined in glossary • Normalisation to third level now explicit
