Teacher:

• Establishes an environment that encourages and supports student innovation.
• Establishes the context and issue for students to undertake Technological Practice.
• Provides learning experiences to enable students to successfully structure their own practice in order to develop an appropriate outcome.
• Supports students in accessing resources.
• Provides opportunities for ongoing stakeholder/s feedback to students.

Achievement Objectives

• Justify the nature of an intended outcome in relation to the need or opportunity. Describe the key attributes identified in stakeholder feedback, which will inform the development of an outcome and its evaluation.

Achievement Objectives

• Undertake planning that includes reviewing the effectiveness of past actions and resourcing, exploring implications for future actions and accessing of resources, and consideration of stakeholder feedback, to enable the development of an outcome. .

Achievement Objectives

• Investigate a context to develop ideas for feasible outcomes. Undertake functional modelling that takes account of stakeholder feedback, in order to select and develop the outcome that best addresses the key attributes. Incorporating stakeholder feedback, evaluate the outcome’s fitness for purpose in terms of how well it addresses the need or opportunity.

Indicators

• Identify a need or opportunity appropriate to the established context and issue, and develop a conceptual statement to justify what they are developing and why.
• Establish key attributes from initial information.
• Undertake refinement and/or modification of their conceptual statement and key attributes as based on their developing knowledge and skills, including understandings of the context/issue and feedback from stakeholders.
• Define key attributes that allow them, their teacher and stakeholders to evaluate the fitness for purpose of their outcome.

Indicators

• Explain and reflect on key stages and critical resources from their previous practice, and evaluate this in order to identify implications for future activities within their current practice.
• Identify and explain links between their past and current practice, in terms of how they could impact on (either to assist or impair) the development of an outcome that reflects the brief requirements.
• Plan to ensure stakeholder feedback is accessed and used to inform development work – particularly material selection.
• Plan ahead to ensure completion of outcome, and undertake effective documentation to support their practice.
• Select and access the key resources (including knowledge and skills) required to complete their outcome.

Indicators

• Determine suitability of initial resources to enable the development of their outcome.
  develop (through research and functional modeling that includes feedback from stakeholders) conceptual ideas that communicate feasible outcomes that incorporate the established key attributes required to address the need or opportunity showing consideration of material availability and suitability.
• Carry out ongoing reflection and functional modelling to test, evaluate and refine potential outcomes.
• Develop an outcome, that incorporates all key attributes established and addresses the identified need or opportunity using prototyping as appropriate.
• Use stakeholder feedback as evidence to support the evaluation of their final outcome’s fitness for purpose in terms of how it well it addresses the need or opportunity.
