Curriculum links
Kay, Megan and Ellen were supported by their teachers in working at Level 7/8 of the Technology curriculum in:
Technological Practice
- Planning for Practice
- Support students to critically analyse a range of planning tools and project management practices that have been used in past Technological Practice
- Support students to use selected tools to effectively manage resources (including time, materials, money, equipment and access to stakeholders etc) to enable the outcome produced to successfully meet the brief
- Outcome Development & Evaluation
- Support students to gain targeted stakeholder feedback and understand the implications of the physical and social environment in which the outcome is to be located
Technological Knowledge
- Technological Products
- Support students to identify and examine examples of how materials have been evaluated to allow material selection decisions that maximise the potential fitness for purpose of particular technological products
- Technological Modelling
- Support students to understand how technological modelling is used to ascertain and mitigate risk; ascertaining risk involves establishing the probability of identified risks. Mitigation involves taking steps to reduce the probability of the risk being realised and/or severity of the risk should it be realised.
Nature of Technology
- Characteristics of Technological Outcomes
- Support students to critically analyse the physical and functional nature of Technological Outcomes to identify what design elements have been prioritised. Support students to discuss why these prioritisation decisions may have been made with respect to the intended purpose of the Technological Outcome, the context of its use and the time of its development
