Student ICT Expectations

The Student ICT Expectations (PDF, 683KB) can help teachers and school administrators plan meaningful and engaging learning experiences that incorporate the use of ICT.

They aim to help students develop their ICT knowledge, understanding, ways of working and skills needed for learning and working in today’s digital world.

The expectations are set out in junctures.

• Years P to 3
• Years 4 to 5
• Years 6 to 7
• Years 8 to 9
• Year 10
• Years 11 to 12

The Student ICT Expectations will assist schools with the implementation of the Australian Curriculum, General Capability, ICT Competency which recognises that successful learners are creative and productive users of technology, especially ICT, as a foundation for success in all learning areas.

The Student ICT Expectations identify the ICT knowledge, understanding, ways of working and skills that students in Queensland state schools are required to have the opportunity to develop from Prep to Year 12. These expectations are based on the National Statements of Learning for Information and Communication Technology and support the Australian Curriculum General Capability of ICT Competence.

The Expectations include the same elements of ICT Competence as articulated in the Australian Curriculum:

• Inquiring with ICT
• Creating with ICT
• Communicating with ICT
• Ethics, Issues and ICT
• Operating ICT.

The Student ICT Expectations are embedded within the Curriculum into the Classroom units and provide specific examples of how ICT can be used to develop and consolidate curriculum understandings across learning areas.

How to use the expectations

The links above outline a range of learning experiences that teachers can use to develop the required knowledge and skills among their students.

School leaders can use the expectations to coordinate school-wide action and to consider implications for professional development and resource allocation.
