IB Design Technology The Design and Problem Solving Process
What is the point? • A proven method and process • Can be utilized for any problem • Helps you to produce quality work
Design/Problem Solving Process Overview • Investigate • Plan • Create • Evaluate • Attitudes in Technology
Investigate • Students 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 Details • Design Brief: • Formulate and discuss appropriate questions that guide the investigation * • Identify and acknowledge a range of appropriatesources of information * • Collect, Analyze, Select, Organize, and Evaluate Info * • Evaluate the sources of information **
Plan • Students Design the product/solution • Generate several feasible designs that meet the design specs • Evaluate the design against the specs • Select one design and justify its choice * • Students plan the product/solution • Construct a plan to create the product/solution • Contains a series of logical steps • Makes effectiveuse of resources and time • Evaluate the plan and justify ANYmodifications to the design **
Create • Students use appropriate techniques and equipment • Use a range of appropriate techniques and equipment competently • Ensure a safe working environment • Themselves • Others * • Follow the Plan • Follow the pre-designed plan • Evaluate the plan and justify ANY changes to the plan * • Create the product/solution to appropriate quality **
Evaluate • Students 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 Technology • Throughout 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 **
