Collaborating and managing

This Content Descriptor from Year 7 Technologies provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

develop project plans to individually and collaboratively manage time, cost and production of designed solutions

Elaborations

  • • interpreting drawings to plan resources and production steps needed to produce products, services or environments for specific purposes, for example identifying resource requirements from specifications on a labelled drawing and collaboratively developing a detailed procedure
  • • identifying risks and how to minimise them, organising time, evaluating decisions and managing resources to ensure successful project completion, for example using digital tools to keep track of tasks, resources, expenses and deadlines
  • • investigating the time needed for each step of production, for example estimating time allocations on a planning template for the different stages of the design process needed to produce a clock, acoustic speaker or desk lamp using prior knowledge, research and testing

Achievement Standard This Supports

This Content Descriptor contributes to the following Achievement Standard:

Year 7 ASTECTDEY78
Year 7 Technologies Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 8 students explain how people design, innovate and produce products, services and environments for preferred futures. For each of the 4 prescribed technologies contexts they explain how the features of technologies impact on design decisions, and create designed solutions based on analysis of needs or opportunities. Students create and adapt design ideas, processes and solutions, and justify their decisions against developed design criteria that include sustainability. They communicate design ideas and solutions to audiences using technical terms and graphical representation techniques, including using digital tools. They independently and collaboratively document and manage production processes to safely produce designed solutions.
