5. Learning Facilitation Process:

This course is designed to give the basic knowledge about the concept of computer and
its components. This course includes both practical and theoretical parts that help the students to
increase their ideas, knowledge, skills about computer applications, software, and operating
system and so on.
To achieve this, the teacher himself needs to work on different types of subject matter
that are found either within the field of school or outside. For fulfilling the objective of the
course, the students should especially focus on group discussions, field visit and researches.
To facilitate the learning process, the following methods are to be implemented.

• Disassemble PC and learn different hardware components of computer in computer lab.
• Different Lab works related to different application software like MS word, MS excel,
power point and MS Access is provided to each student under direct supervision
• Project works and exercises are given as assignment.
• Group discussions and power point presentations are provided to develop to work in
groups being technologically bounded.
• Notes of each unit are provided to students for future reference
Beside these, these activities can also be followed to enhance the learning process.

• Group Discussion
• Field Visit
• Demonstration
• Research
• Questionnaire
• Practical Works
• Audio/Visual Class
• Internet
• Project Works
• Problem Solving.
6. Students Assessment Process

Class work, homework, unit test, terminal test, final test, etc. are the tools to measure student's
knowledge, skill, and performance. Similarly, lab report, attendance, discipline, and performance
are also used to assess the learners' achievement.
