PRE-TECHNICAL STUDIES
March 2023
Reflection
Teachers are encouraged to develop learning activities while taking into consideration their
learners’ diverse learning needs
Learning resources
In the Grade 7 curriculum design, learning resources have been
suggested in every strand and sub strand. The teacher is given the
leeway to select other relevant materials available in the environment
depending on the types of learners and the learning approaches the
teacher plans to use.
The suggested resources are locally available at very low or no cost at
all. The curriculum developers have made sure that the suggested
materials are readily available in almost all sections of our country
Where to conduct Pre-tech lessons
Pre-Tech studies is allocated 4 lessons per week.
It is recommended that schools should timetable for 2 double
lessons per week.This will make it possible for the teacher to
carry out some theory work and practice during the double
lessons
The lessons will be carried out in workplaces which include;
the normal classrooms or outside the classroom at a suitable
workplace.
Assessment
• The alignment of learning and assessment is paramount to ensure
what learners have learned is measured accordingly, including
cognitive and social skills in real world scenarios. In this regard,
both formative and summative assessments are crucial for effective
assessment in inquiry-based learning.

Deviations from the 8-4-4 Curriculum
• This is a new integrated learning area at Junior Secondary as
opposed to the 8.4.4 syllabus, where we have seven (7)
distinct technical subjects
• It is a compulsory learning area as opposed to the 7
technical subjects in 8.4.4 curriculum which are optional
and offered only in few schools
