Methodology: Pupil-Centered Approach to Learning

While teachers are still an authority figure in a pupil-centred teaching model, teachers and
students play an equally active role in the learning process.

Activities

1. Identify and list devices around you

2. Which of the devices around you are Electronic and Non-Electronic devices?
3. List devices that are associated with ICT
4. What are the safety tips in handling electronic and non-electronic ICT devices?

Electronics and Non-Electronic Device

What is A Device?

A device is an object invented/created for a particular purpose—E.g. Screwdriver, computer,

mouse pad, mouse, keyboard, microphone, speakers, etc.

Electronic Device

An electronic device is a device that uses an electric current to make work easy.

Electronic ICT Device

An electronic ICT device is a device that is used in the field of ICT to make work easy and faster.
E.g. Flash drive, ear/headphone, mouse, printer, UPS, etc.

Non-Electronic Device

A non-electronic device is a device that makes work easy but does not require an electric
current to function.

Non-Electronic ICT Device

A non-electronic ICT device is a device that is used in an ICT environment that makes work easy
but does not require an electric current to function. E.g. Pliers, pen, paper, mouse pad, tripod
stand, stapler, screwdriver, etc.

Similarities between electronic and non-electronic devices

Both types of devices make our work easy

Difference between electronic and non-electronic devices

1. Electronic devices need the flow of electric current to function while non-electronic
devices can be used with electric current

2. Electronic devices work faster and better than non-electronic devices

3. Non-electronic devices are cheaper than electronic devices

4. Electronic devices require little or no human interaction to function, while non-electronic

devices require human interaction to function.
