Subject: Computer System Servicing

Grade Level: Grade 11

Class Objectives: Basic Input Output System

Difficulty: Standard

Materials: Allow the use of any materials

Time: 1 hr

Activity: Troubleshooting Challenge

Introduction:

In this activity, students will participate in a troubleshooting challenge where they will
diagnose and resolve common issues related to the basic input output system
(BIOS) in computer systems. This hands-on task will enhance their problem-solving
skills and deepen their understanding of BIOS functions.

Significance:

Understanding BIOS is crucial in computer system servicing as it is responsible for


initializing hardware components and facilitating communication between the
operating system and hardware. By engaging in this activity, students will develop
practical skills that are essential in the field of computer servicing.

Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning

Materials:

- Various computer systems with BIOS access


- Troubleshooting guide for BIOS issues

- Writing materials for documenting solutions

Detailed Instructions:

1. Divide the class into small groups.

2. Provide each group with a computer system exhibiting different BIOS-related


problems.

3. Instruct students to identify the issues by accessing the BIOS settings and
observing error messages.

4. Encourage students to work collaboratively to troubleshoot and resolve the


problems within the given time frame.

5. Emphasize the importance of documenting the troubleshooting steps and


solutions for each issue.

6. Facilitate discussions and provide guidance as needed.

Example Run-through:

Students in each group identify that one computer system fails to recognize the hard
drive in the BIOS settings. Through collaboration and systematic troubleshooting,
they discover that resetting the BIOS to default settings resolves the issue.

Rubrics:

- Accuracy of issue identification (5pts)

- Effectiveness of troubleshooting steps (5pts)

- Collaboration and teamwork (5pts)

Assessment Questions:

1. What are the primary functions of BIOS in a computer system?

2. How does accessing the BIOS settings help in diagnosing hardware issues?

3. Why is it important to document troubleshooting steps and solutions during the


process?
Pre-Activity Rationale:

Before the activity, students are expected to have a basic understanding of computer
hardware components and their functions. This activity will provide them with
practical experience in troubleshooting BIOS-related issues, aligning with the class
objective of mastering the basic input output system.

Post-Activity Rationale and Analysis:

Following the activity, students will have enhanced their problem-solving skills and
gained confidence in addressing BIOS-related problems. They will also have a
deeper understanding of the significance of BIOS in computer systems, reinforcing
their knowledge of computer system servicing.

To make the activity more engaging based on the cultural nuances of the
Philippines, consider incorporating the following:

- Integrate Filipino language terms related to computer servicing

- Incorporate case studies of local businesses or organizations facing BIOS issues

- Relate BIOS functions to traditional Filipino values such as adaptability and


resourcefulness
