How many lessons do you have in a week for a spesific class?

by Yalcin Pehlivan

Dec 6, 2009

Hello friends. I am a Computer Science Teacher in a k-8 schooli n Ýstanbul, Turkey. I want to learn in which countries, how many Computer Science Lessons do you have for a spesific class in a week. Here in my school we have 2 hours for 4th, and 5th classes, but only one hour for 6th, 7th, 8th in a week. I hope you help me.

Lisa I teach K-5 computer classes and see a different class for each grade every six days. Each class is 40 minutes long.

I'm curious. You said you teach computer science to K-8. It may be just a matter of semantics but computer science seems to be quite complex for K-5 students. What types of skills do you teach students in grades K-5? What ex...See More

Our lab schedule -- Sharyl I have 1st grade and 2nd grade classes for 25 minutes each per week.

I have 3rd through 6th grade classes for 50 minutes each per week.

Ours is more of an enrichmen lab, in that I coordinate with the classroom teachers and assist with introducing and/or meeting state standards that can be met via technology.

Trish Yalcin, I have been teaching in computer labs for about 9 years altogether here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have had 2 hours before with 6-8 but its rare. I usually get k-2 for 1/2 twice a week; 3-5 1/2- 1 hour a week; and middle school 1 hr per week (sometime only for 9 week per year).

I have had 2 hours before with 6-8 but its rare. I usually get k-2 for 1/2 twice a week; 3-5 1/2- 1 hour a week; and middle school 1 hr per week (sometime only for 9 week per year). If you are having trouble filling 2 hours for 4th & 5th grade use one hour for keyboarding. Students in 4th & 5th grade really do well with keyboarding and their grade will improve with their ability to keyboard quickly and efficiently. Many students are resistant to keyboarding but I always tell them it is like learning a sport. At first it is awkward and hard but the more you practice the easier it gets and you can always improve. I usually use project-based learning so it isn't how many lessons but parts of the project. Since computers is not a core subject, it is often interrupted so I have the steps to complete a project and I just progress on it as I can. I always have problems with student absences and gaps in projects, so I have independent activities that students who finish earlier can do while I catch up others who have fallen behind. I rarely wait to catch up until the end of the project. Depending on the project I may spend every 3rd class checking progress. Often the independent project is keyboarding, working on their web sites, or educational games. This seems to work well for middle school kids. One of my classes is working on a book report for PowerPoint and it is using advanced skills, so we have been working on it for more than 9 weeks. Every week they learn more skills and they are loving it.
