<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>We have since 2000 had fairly consistent numbers, so over three
different study designs we have had one full class of IPM/ITA of about 20-25,
and an SD class of 8-14. The numbers are similar next year with ITA just
slipping over the 25 mark to allow us to have two classes. (our Year 11-12
cohort is about 360) Year 11 and Year 10 have solid numbers, with year 10
having 4-6 semester electives running most years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

against the trend in this area), we had it one 2 year cycle a couple of years
back.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>And I know we often blame the study design but there are so many
factors that impact on students decisions to choose a subject. As VCE
Coordinator I would say, in general, the exact content of a course has limited
influence over selection, other than having to have a general interest in that
subject area. Peer group, prerequisites, and certainly not least the teachers
they have had as well as the teachers expected to teach the subject have ever
increasing influence. Most kids I spoke to about ITA/SD hadn’t even realised
there were any changes for next year, because they had made the selection on
what a teacher said or did and what their friend who is doing it this year said
etc. Not sure what we teach is an important as how we teach it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the way...) then howcome the 'random audits' conducted by the body overseeing
our course seems to 'randomly' pick same schools for audit regularly(me now 4
years in a row!) and add to that then, why did I bother to organize a
partnership arrangement with other schools. Some things dont make sense and
these are but two of them to me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='color:black'>Three
years ago, my VCE IT classes got shouldered with the Arts block so the my
students are generally drawn from Maths-Science to Business Studies-Arts. Most
have an ESL background and my most 'accademic' IT student has only been in
Australia for a couple of years and struggles with many basic computing ideas.
I am still smouldering by the reviewer who openly ticked me off for a decline
in IT results. Explaining to a bean-counter about small sample sizes, teaching
for all and shifting cohort groups doesnt cut much cloth when they wave their
moderation wand.<br>
<br>
Oddly enough, I have more girls in my year 12 class than boys. I put this to
the splendid Go-Girls-Gor-For IT seminar we ran for the year 10s a couple of
years ago. My guess is that if I hadn't done this, we would also be down to
just one class. The pictures speak for themselves and I believe they are
running the event again.<br>

PS: My biggest challenge is enthusing kids to return to school / class
following the term break for revision and sticking it out. For the past couple
of years, I sit outside the examination room to fire off a threatening glare
for anybody that even just dates to think about leaving early (sigh) .. some
later admit that the thought of a grumpy Mr G lurking outside keeps them
indoors.<br>
<br>
PSS: Increasingly like the idea of switching to offering SD instead next year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='color:black'>It's really odd! <br>
<br>
ITA, which has run continuously <b>forever</b> with good numbers has barely
scraped a class together for next year by combining year elevens and twelves
into one small ITA class.<br>
<br>
SD, which has only run every 3 or so years (with a small cohort when it did
run), is nearly over-subscribed.<br>
<br>
There don't seem to be any clear local causes for such a great change of
attitude (e.g. changes of teachers or big changes in middle-years IT offerings)
so I can only put it down to either something in the water, or the changes to
the study design.<br>
<br>
To be fair, I haven't heard kids explicitly blaming the ITA study design, and
for some reason they seem dead keen on programming in our year 10 Info Systems
elective. My year 11 IT classes have been dead quiet for 2 weeks with the kids
busily coding in VB6. Last year I had to beat them with chairs to finish the
VB material... this year I can sit up the front folding paper aeroplanes and
clipping my toenails while they beaver away and sort out problems within their
own ranks.<br>

Odd!<br clear=all>
