Reservoir West Primary School

DESIGN, CREATIVITY AND TECHNOLOGY

RESPONSIBILITY: Mrs Laureen Adderley

This domain is taught by classroom and specialist teachers

Students develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours related to investigating and designing using appropriate planning processes and design briefs; creating and developing ideas, applying information, and seeking and testing innovative alternatives; producing, including the selection and safe use of appropriate tools, equipment, materials and/or processes to meet the requirements of design briefs; analysing and evaluating both processes and products including, where relevant, any broader environmental, social, cultural and economic factors. Standards in the Design, Creativity and Technology domain are organised in three dimensions:

• investigating and designing
• producing
• analysing and evaluating

Activities associated with the three dimensions are linked and may be applied sequentially, where students move directly from investigating to designing, producing and evaluating. Or alternatively, students may move between the dimensions as they solve a problem. In order for students to demonstrate knowledge, skills and behaviours in this domain a ‘design and make’ project-based learning approach must be taken, that focuses on meeting the problem, need/s or requirements defined in a design brief.
