With only a couple of year 11 and 12's doing IPM, next year I will be
running an odd year 12/11 and another 11/10 class. Seems like a lot of
us are going to be running VCE composite classes in 2006 and I would
welcome any teaching strategies. <br>
<br>
Hmm, this could be a good topic for a VITTA workshop if there is
sufficient interest and somebody familiar with this arrangement holds
up their hand. <span class="moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-) </span></span><br>

We do have a
stand alone Information Systems class, but not enough for an IPM class.
This is
the first time ever for us. It was going to be scrapped but I convinced
the AP
to do a combined 11-12 class. We have enough year 11s to also do a
stand alone year
11 IT as well.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Trafalgar the numbers of students
choosing IT are definitely lower than in the past, as I have previously
stated
in list discussions. Next year for the first time I will be running a
combined
class as the number choosing Units 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 were not
sufficient
for a stand alone in each area. Doing the math, the take up for IPM
here is less then 1% and Systems roughly 2% next year. That figure
breaks down to about equal male and female in IPM and in Systems all
but one
student is male.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I thought I would enlist
some help from you. The first area
is VCE IPM and IS enrolment statistics/proportions. I want to indicate
the
proportion of students who study these subjects. I have searched the
VCAA
website and found the 2004 stats, which are fine, and am looking just
at unit 4
enrolments.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">According to this site (<a
href="http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/statistics/2004/statssect1.print.html">http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/statistics/2004/statssect1.print.html</a>)
in Table 1.2 Unit results by gender and level 2004, there were 126,119
males
who completed unit 4 VCE subjects, and 144,124 females.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Then on the same site, in
the individual subject unit
completion outcomes, we have 2222 males who completed the IS subject,
and only
176 females, and in IPM 4933 males and 2384 females.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Using my calculator that
means that only 1.8% of males in
the state completed IS, and 0.1% of the females.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">IPM is slightly better,
with 4% of all VCE males and 1.7% of
females.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Does that seem correct?
Do you (or the VCE coordinator) get
any report on where each subject sits on proportional enrolments?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">It is very low. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
