boy and girl
- The least capable (in an overall sense)
boy and girl
- A boy and a girl a bit above average:
doing OK most of the time,
- A boy and a girl a bit below average:
sort of doing OK but who sometimes requires a bit of extra effort
on the part of the student and/or teacher to ensure that things go well
for these two.
There is no
need to take the student’s interest in ICT (or lack thereof) into consideration.

will not be revealed to the observer until after all observations are
completed.

keep a diary/log (provided by the observer) of their computer use in the
week before the classroom observations.]

be sought by way of discussion and interview include by :
