Questions to guide my teaching and assessment


  • Has the student covered the design criteria?
Make that explicit
  • Has the student been able to visualise their design and use an appropriate communication method to show process?
Model how the design cycle will work and how I want them to document working. Use ICT in documenting designs and process, as well as on paper.
  • Is the design purposeful, functional?
Explicitly teach what makes a design functional and purposeful in this context.
Lightweight, balanced, able to fall from a height, not fall apart, insulated.
  • Are the materials suitable?
Lightweight? Solid, not flimsy. Well put together.
  • Has the student been able to use tools and processes and manufacturing methods?
  • Has the student been able to trial/test their working design?
  • Has the student made relevant modifications based on the trial?
  • Has the student engaged in discussion and communication about their trial, and resolved ideas and justified decisions?
  • Has the student sought feedback, and made regular progress in their production plan?
  • Can the student evaluate the final design product?
  • Can the student come up with detailed recommendations on the end product?
