#### Objective:
1. To understand the concepts and various stages of the System Development Cycle (SDC).
2. To apply the stages of the SDC in real-world project scenarios.
3. To develop analytical and project management skills by working through each stage of the system development process.
#### Duration:
90 minutes
---
#### Materials Needed:
- Projector and Computer with presentation slides (PowerPoint)
- Whiteboard and markers
- Handouts of the System Development Cycle (SDC) stages
- Example project case study for group work
- Chart papers and markers for group activities
---
#### Lesson Procedure:
1. **Introduction (10 Minutes)**
- Greet students and take attendance.
- Briefly review the previous lesson.
- Introduce today's topic: System Development Cycle IV.
2. **Presentation and Explanation (20 Minutes)**
- Use a PowerPoint presentation to explain the System Development Cycle and its stages:
- **Systems Planning**: Identifying the need and scope of the project.
- **Systems Analysis**: Gathering and analyzing requirements.
- **Systems Design**: Creating the architecture of the system.
- **Systems Implementation**: Coding, testing, and installing the system.
- **Systems Maintenance**: Continuous improvement and management.
- Emphasize the importance of each phase and the roles of different stakeholders involved.
3. **Detailed Breakdown (15 Minutes)**
- Dive deeper into each stage:
- **Systems Planning**: Feasibility study, preliminary investigation.
- **Systems Analysis**: Work breakdown structure (WBS), data flow diagrams (DFDs).
- **Systems Design**: Interface design, database design, prototyping.
- **Systems Implementation**: Coding standards, testing (unit, integration, system).
- **Systems Maintenance**: Bug fixing, updates, user training.
- Provide real-life examples and show short video clips (if available).
4. **Interactive Discussion (10 Minutes)**
- Ask students to share any experience they have with system development, whether in school projects or personal endeavors.
- Discuss common challenges faced during system development and possible mitigations.
5. **Group Activity (25 Minutes)**
- Divide the class into small groups and provide each group with an example project case study.
- Each group will identify which phase of the System Development Cycle they would prioritize first, and outline briefly how they would approach each of the other phases.
- Provide chart papers and markers to groups for them to sketch their approach.
6. **Group Presentations (10 Minutes)**
- Each group will present their SDC outline to the class.
- Encourage questions and constructive criticism from peers and provide feedback.
7. **Recap and Clarification (5 Minutes)**
- Summarize the key points discussed during the lesson.
- Answer any additional questions from students.
8. **Assignment (5 Minutes)**
- Assign a homework task where students are to select a real-world organism or system, analyze its current state, and propose a brief plan according to the System Development Cycle.
---
#### Assessment:
- Participation in group activity and presentation.
- Quality and completeness of the homework assignment.
- A short quiz in the next class to review understanding of the System Development Cycle stages and their purposes.
---
#### Resources:
- O’Brien, J. A., & Marakas, G. M. (2011). Management Information Systems.
- Tutorials on System Development Cycle available on Khan Academy and other online resources.
- Access to computer labs for practical sessions and further research.
---
#### Reflection:
- Gather feedback from students on the lesson's structure and content.
- Reflect on the effectiveness of the interactive and group activities in reinforcing learning.
- Plan to address any gaps or difficulties encountered by students in the next session.
---
By the end of the lesson, students should have a clear understanding of each stage of the System Development Cycle and feel confident in applying this knowledge to practical situations.
