Design/Problem Solving Process OverviewInvestigateDesignPlanCreateEvaluateAttitudes in Technology

InvestigateStudents identify the problem to be solved

Evaluate the importance of the problem Life Society Environment *

Outline the Design Brief Details on next Slide *

Formulate Design Specification End of course:

List requirements that must be met by product or solution

Design tests to evaluate the product/solution against the design criteria **

Investigate-Design Brief DetailsDesign Brief:

Formulate and discuss appropriate questions that guide the investigation *

Identify and acknowledge a range of appropriate sources of information *

Collect, Analyze, Select, Organize, and Evaluate Info *

Evaluate the sources of information **

DesignGenerate several feasible (practicable)

designs that meets the design specification and to evaluate these against the design

specification.

PlanStudents Design the product/solution

Generate several feasible designs that meet the design specs

Evaluate the design against the specsSelect one design and justify its choice *

Students plan the product/solutionConstruct a plan to create the

product/solution Contains a series of logical steps Makes effective use of resources and time Evaluate the plan and justify ANY modifications

to the design **

CreateStudents use appropriate techniques and equipment

Use a range of appropriate techniques and equipment competently

Ensure a safe working environment Themselves Others *

Follow the PlanFollow the pre-designed planEvaluate the plan and justify ANY changes to the plan *

Create the product/solution to appropriate quality **

EvaluateStudents evaluate the product/solution

Carry out tests to evaluate product against design specs *

Evaluate the success of the product/solution Objective- based on testing Student’s views Intended user views *

Evaluate the impact of result on individuals and society *Explain how the product could be improved *Evaluate the use of the Design Cycle

Evaluate their performance at each stage of the Design Cycle Suggest ways to improve performance **

Attitudes in TechnologyThroughout the course students should:

Carry out units of work safely and responsibly *

Work effectively as members of a team Collaborating Acknowledging Supporting views of others *

Provide evidence of personal engagement Motivation Independence Positive Attitude **
