Indicators of Progression in Technology

Components of Technological Practice

Emergent

Supporting Learning Environment

Teacher:

  • Establishes an environment that encourages and supports student innovation.
  • Establishes the need or opportunity and defines the conceptual statement through negotiation with the students.
  • Guides students to identify attributes for an appropriate outcome.
  • Structures students’ Technological Practice through a series of linked learning experiences (both pre-planned and responsive) to provide opportunity for knowledge and skill development.
  • Provides resources, to support student’s to develop their outcome.
  • Provides students with an overview of the key stages they will undertake during their Technological Practice.

The Indicators of Progression for the components of Technological Practice can be used to guide and support formative and summative assessment, and provide a basis for reporting purposes.

These are based on the work of Compton and Harwood. For details of the research underpinning these components please refer to Compton, V.J. and Harwood, C.D. (2005) 'Progression in Technology Education in New Zealand: Components of practice as a way forward.' International Journal of Design and Technology Education. Vol 15, #3, 253-287.
