Lesson Plan for Senior Secondary 2 - Information Communication Technology - System Development Cycle I

### Lesson Plan: System Development Cycle **Grade Level:** Senior Secondary 2 **Subject:** Information Communication Technology **Lesson Duration:** 2 Hours --- #### Objective: By the end of this lesson, students should be able to: 1. Describe the stages of the System Development Cycle (SDC). 2. Understand the importance of each stage in the SDC. 3. Apply the concepts of the SDC to a basic project. --- ### Lesson Outline #### Introduction (10 minutes) - **Greeting:** Welcome students and take attendance. - **Set the Scene:** Briefly introduce the topic for the day: System Development Cycle (SDC). - **Objectives Overview:** Share the learning objectives of the lesson. #### Direct Instruction (30 minutes) - **Definition of SDC:** Define System Development Cycle and explain its significance in the ICT field. - **Stages of SDC:** - **Feasibility Study:** Explain what a feasibility study is and why it is important. - **Requirement Analysis:** Discuss the process of identifying and documenting the needs and requirements of the system. - **Design:** Outline how the system is designed, including both high-level and detailed designs. - **Development:** Explain the process of actual coding and building the system. - **Testing:** Discuss the importance of testing, types of testing (unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing). - **Implementation:** Explain how the system is put into production. - **Maintenance:** Discuss the need for ongoing maintenance and support after implementation. #### Demonstration/Visuals (15 minutes) - **Visual Aids:** Use PowerPoint slides, diagrams, or videos to illustrate each stage of the SDC. - **Real-World Examples:** Provide examples of projects and how they moved through each stage of the SDC. #### Collaborative Activity (25 minutes) - **Group Activity:** - Divide students into small groups. - Assign each group a simple project (e.g., developing a library management system). - Ask each group to create a brief outline or flowchart that depicts how they would move through each stage of the SDC for their project. - **Facilitator Role:** Circulate the room to provide guidance and address questions. #### Individual Activity (15 minutes) - **Worksheet:** - Distribute a worksheet with questions about each stage of the SDC. - Include both multiple-choice and short-answer questions to assess comprehension. - Provide immediate feedback and clarification on common misunderstandings. #### Q&A Session (10 minutes) - Open the floor for questions and discussion about the SDC. - Encourage students to share insights or challenges they faced during the group activity. #### Conclusion (5 minutes) - **Recap the Lesson:** Summarize the key points covered in the lesson. - **Revisit Objectives:** Ensure that the learning objectives were met. - **Provide Homework:** Assign students a homework task to research and present on a specific stage of the SDC during the next class. #### Assessment - **Participation:** Monitor and assess student participation during group and individual activities. - **Worksheet:** Evaluate the answers on the worksheet to gauge understanding. --- ### Materials Needed: - PowerPoint slides or equivalent visual aid presentation software. - Diagrams of the System Development Cycle. - Worksheets for individual assessment. - Whiteboard and markers for brainstorming and collaboration activities. --- #### Homework Assignment: - **Task:** Research one of the stages of the System Development Cycle in more detail and prepare a short presentation (3-5 minutes) to share with the class. - **Due Date:** Next ICT class session. ### Additional Notes: - Adapt the lesson as needed to cater to varying levels of student understanding and engagement. - Consider integrating technology tools (e.g., online collaboration platforms) for interactive and engaging learning experiences. --- This comprehensive lesson plan on the System Development Cycle is designed to give Senior Secondary 2 students a foundational understanding of the topic, with both theoretical and practical components to solidify their learning.
