Teacher:

• Establishes an environment that encourages and supports student innovation.
• Establishes the need or opportunity.
• Guides students to define conceptual statement.
• Guides students to identify key attributes for an appropriate outcome.
• Supports students’ Technological Practice through a series of negotiated learning experiences (both pre-planned and responsive) to provide opportunity for knowledge and skill development, and encourage student trialing and refinement of skills and understandings.
• Provides a selection of resources, to support the students development of an outcome.

Achievement Objectives

• Describe the nature of an intended outcome, explaining how it addresses the need or opportunity. Describe the key attributes that enable development and evaluation of an outcome.

Achievement Objectives

• Undertake planning to identify the key stages and resources required to develop an outcome. Revisit planning to include reviews of progress and identify implications for subsequent decision making.

Achievement Objectives

• Investigate a context to develop ideas for potential outcomes. Trial and evaluate these against key attributes to select and develop an outcome to address the need or opportunity. Evaluate this outcome against the key attributes and how it addresses the need or opportunity.

Indicators

• Define a conceptual statement that communicates what they are developing and why.
• Describe key attributes for their outcome.
• Undertake refinement and/or modification of their conceptual statement and key attributes based on their developing knowledge and skills including understandings of the context and issue.
• Describe key attributes that allow them and their teacher to evaluate their outcome.

Indicators

• Explain the importance of key stages and the reason specific resources were used in their development work to date.
• Identify and explain links between past and current activities and identify implications for future planning decisions.
• Plan, explain and record ideas for future activities to support the completion of their outcome.
• Identify key resources suitable to complete their outcome.

Indicators

• Develop (through research and functional modeling) conceptual ideas that communicate possible outcomes that incorporate identified key attributes and address the need or opportunity.
• Trial materials for the development of an outcome.
• Carry out technological modelling to evaluate the outcome’s ability to address the need or opportunity.
• Develop an outcome that addresses the identified need or opportunity.
• Evaluate their final outcome against the key attributes, and in terms of it addressing the need or opportunity.
