Learning Intentions • To challenge our thinking about programme design • To consolidate what we know about brief development and develop new strategies for teaching and learning • To create using knowledge of compositional principles
Activity • Write down all the skills/knowledge you teach in your present unit of work with a year 11 class
What skills are employers looking for? Activity: Read the job descriptions List the skills that are required. Discuss how we are developing them in our programmes of work.

Thinking Technologically:the Explorer, the Investigator, the Skeptic, the Finder-outer
Context refers to the wider social and physical environment in which technological development occurs. Contexts may include: storage, afterschool snacks, outdoor living, sustainable energy, sport, educational software, street wear, portability, furniture. • The context allows students to explore a broad range of issues both current and future
Issue • An issue in Technology refers to a specific subset of a context that will enable students to identify a need or opportunity. For example: • E.g. The issue in ICT programming was to develop educational programmes.
Processing: Domain Knowledge and Skills • Measuring/shaping/forming • Health and safety • Selecting and using equipment/tools • Understanding properties of food • basic concepts used in food processing • testing, and safety procedures -the role of tests in processing operations • processing operations • quality control during the processing • the differences between processing food products in a classroom and in industry • mixing, extracting, separating, or growing • heating, cooling, or reacting • Safe disposal of biologically active material culturing by plating • Controlling of enzymes • Packaging • Preservation methods

Keep, chuck, change and create! • What are the strengths of your current curriculum and what needs to be developed? • How are you incorporating the three strands, knowledge and skills to develop student technological literacy? • How well does your school based curriculum meet the statutory aims of the national curriculum? • Does your curriculum reflect local contexts and meet the needs, interests and aspirations of all your learners? • How might your curriculum reflect local contexts and meet the needs, interests and aspirations of all your learners? • How might your programme be developed to improve the motivation and engagement of learners and raise standards? • Are there assumptions about how you use time, resourcesand approaches to planning that could or should be challenged or improved?

Outcome description for Technology Scholarship “The student will use knowledge of technology to demonstrate synthesis, integration, justification, and critical reflection on technological experiences.”
Technological experiences across all 3 technology strands • Undertaking Technological Practice to develop a technological outcome(s) that is justified as fit for purpose in the broadest sense and shows elements of elegance and/or originality • Demonstrating understandings of concepts underpinning Technological Knowledge • Demonstrating understandings of the Nature of Technology
A range of technological experiences can also include • developing and critiquing case studies • debating technological issues • undertaking observations • using technology • generating new knowledge
Fitness for purpose in its broadest sense • refers to the ‘fitness’ of the outcome itself as well as the practices used to develop the outcome. • These practices may involve consideration of such things as sustainability of resources used, treatment of people involved in manufacture, ethical nature of testing practices, cultural appropriateness of trialling procedures, determination of lifecycles and / or ultimate disposal.
Where do we start? • Level 8 technology curriculum • Work within all three strands of the curriculum • You do not have to be assessed in all three strands but evidence of understanding is expected
Technological Literacy Subject Specific Skills Nature of Technology Know why Technological Knowledge Know that Technological Literacy Subject Specific Knowledge Technological Practice Know how
Vital Context and Issue Exploration • The curriculum says the context is the over riding focus • The issue is a sub set of the context Scoping, exploring, researching is essential
Technological Practice • Authentic issue with a broad range of key and wider stakeholders • Conceptual statement justifies nature of outcome and why such an outcome needs to be developed • Explain, justify own practice to resolve issue • Innovative and elegant practice and outcome
Elegance • Elegance refers to such attributes as: ingenuity, simplicity, polish, and optimisation • Demonstrated elegance refers to the polish or refinement of the practice and /or the outcome.
Originality • Originality refers to attributes such as: inventiveness, innovation, and unconventionality • Shows originality refers to some aspect of your practice or the developing outcome
