Data Flow Diagram Lesson 2

The lesson plan focuses on teaching 22 students about Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs), specifically the differences between context and level one DFDs. Students will engage in various activities, including drawing diagrams, watching instructional videos, and participating in discussions to enhance their understanding of information management. The lesson aims to develop their ability to construct level one DFDs from context diagrams through structured instructional strategies and evaluation tasks.

Teacher: J.Jones Date: Week of Oct.

5, Time: 70 mins
2020
Subject: Information Technology No. of students: 22 Type of lesson: Theory
Topic: Application and Implication- Information Management
Sub-Topic: Data flow diagrams ( level- 1)

Prior Knowledge:
Students are already familiar with the concept of Information Management and should be
able to identify and describe the four symbols of the Data Flow Diagram.

General Objective(s):
Students should:
 Understand the differences between a context and a level one DFD diagram.
 Understand how to develop a level one diagram form a context level diagram
Specific Objectives:
Students should be able to:
 Recall the difference between context level diagram and first level detailed DFD
 Correctly draw a context level diagram without the use of their notes
 Expand context level diagram to level one DFD

Instructional Strategies:

Questioning - to obtain students feedback


Class Discussion – to maintain student and teacher interaction
Explanation - to clarify unclear concepts and provide support information.

Instructional Materials and media:

Whiteboard - to demonstrate, solve problems, record students’ responses and write main
points.
Textbook - to provide support information.
Zoom

Data flow Diagram is used as a map that traces the possible paths of data traveling from
entities to process.

DFD consists of:


Entity

Process

Data stores

Data flow
The following steps are suggested to aid the construction of Level 1 DFD:

1. Identify processes. Each data-flow into the system must be received by a


process. For each data-flow into the system examine the documentation
about the system and talk to the users to establish a plausible process of
the system that receives the data-flow. Each process must have at least
one output data-flow. Each output data-flow of the system must have been
sent by a process; identify the processes that sends each system output.

2. Draw the data-flows between the external entities and processes.

3. Identify data stores by establishing where documents / data needs to be


held within the system. Add the data stores to the diagram, labelling them
with their local name or description.

4. Add data-flows flowing between processes and data stores within the
system. Each data store must have at least one input data-flow and one
output data-flow (otherwise data may be stored, and never used, or a
store of data must have come from nowhere). Ensure every data store has
input and output data-flows to system processes. Most processes are
normally associated with at least one data store.

5. Check diagram. Each process should have an input and an output. Each
data store should have an input and an output. Check the system details
so see if any process appears to be happening for no reason (i.e.,
some “trigger” data-flow is missing, that would make the process happen).

Instructional Procedure: Time

Introduction/Engage: 15 mins

 Students will review the concept don’t the previous class.


Students will be chosen randomly to present on the
assignment given to them.
 Students will be encouraged to pin the presenter’s screen on
zoom so that they are able to follow through with the
explanation.

Explore 7 Mins

Students will be given a question in which they will be expected to


construct a context diagram in 5 mins.

Question:

In an online shopping system the customer enters an order. The receipt


is then given back to the customer to show the approval of the order.
The order is then sent to the shipping department where the goods are
prepared. A notification is sent to the customer to pick up the packaged
goods.

Draw a context level diagram to show the above system.

Explain 13 Mins
Students will be called on randomly to present their context level
diagram.

Elaborate 15 Mins
Students will then be asked to carefully watch the video they were given
the last class.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztZsEI6C-mI

They will be told to make notes of the transition from a context diagram
to a level 1 DFD diagram.

A discussion will be held on the content and explanation given in the


video. Students will be given an opportunity to ask questions and share
their thought.

Students will be required to make their own note in their n/b.

Students will then discuss the importance of decomposition diagrams.

Evaluation: 15 mins

Students will be required to research further on how construct level 1


diagram from the context diagram they drew from the previous class.
First students will be expected to decompose the process into
different parts.

1. A payroll system at Dexter’s LTD involves the accountant to


enter the hours worked by week paid employees. This results in
the calculation of the net pay and the printing of payslips. The
payslips are given to the employees and the payroll database is
updated.

2. A customer makes an order using a food ordering System. This


results in a printed receipt showing the items and cost. A report is
also sent to the restaurant manager. The order is then sent to the
kitchen to be processed.
