ICT Level 5 Descriptors (1999)

Strand i) Finding things out
Pupils select the information they need for different purposes, check its accuracy and organise it in a form suitable for processing.

Strand ii) Part 1: Developing ideas & making things happen - measurement & control
They create sequences of instructions to control events, and understand the need to be precise when framing and sequencing instructions. They understand how ICT devices with sensors can be used to monitor and measure external events.

Strand ii) Part 2: Developing ideas & making things happen - modelling
They explore the effects of changing the variables in an ICT-based model. 

Strand iii) Exchanging & sharing information
They use ICT to structure, refine and present information in different forms and styles for specific purposes and audiences. They exchange information and ideas with others in a variety of ways, including using email. 


Strand iv) Reviewing, modifying & evaluating work as it progresses
They discuss their knowledge and experience of using ICT and their observations of its use outside school. They assess the use of ICT in their work and are able to reflect critically in order to make improvements in subsequent work.
