In the early childhood phase of schooling, learning, development and wellbeing are connected and learning builds on the Early Years Learning Framework and each child's funds of knowledge. A holistic curriculum that integrates knowledge, understandings, skills, values and attitudes across learning areas connects learning to children's lives and their natural curiosity about their world.

\n

Design and Technologies provides opportunities for children to explore familiar technologies and the need for design, while developing an understanding of the components and processes involved. They generate, record and share design ideas through discussion and drawing to create solutions, and use personal preferences to evaluate products.

\n

In Pre-primary, children discover the uses of familiar technologies in everyday life in at least one of the following Design and Technologies contexts: Engineering principles and systems, Food and fibre production, Food specialisations, and Materials and technologies specialisations. They explore common objects for their purpose and design features to develop understandings of designing solutions to solve a problem and meet personal needs. Children use technologies safely by observing teacher modelling or role-play to participate in either elementary engineering, plant/fibre production, food preparation or identify materials used for clothing needs. They experiment with identifying problems and draw on their memory of a sequence of steps to complete a task, such as packing away play equipment or completing a puzzle.

Children explore familiar objects within the community and recognise design thinking skills. In Engineering principles and systems, children observe how objects move when force is applied. In Food and fibre production, children connect animal and plant products for everyday use as food and/or clothing. In Food specialisations, children explore food for colour, texture, flavour and shape, and use hygiene practices. In Materials and technologies specialisations, children explore and identify materials to use for creation and/or construction of a variety of products, including for personal needs, considering the materials' properties.

Design and Technologies provides opportunities for children to explore ways force generates movement in objects, or identify essential needs for animals and plants, or know sources of familiar food, or recognise properties of selected materials and develop design thinking skills to create solutions.

\n

In Year 1, children have opportunities to explore and create solutions in at least one of the following Design and Technologies contexts: Engineering principles and systems, Food and fibre production, Food specialisations, and Materials and technologies specialisations. They investigate the process of designing and producing products for personal needs.

\n

Children have a natural curiosity about their physical, social and technological world and learn through play and experimentation. They observe, manipulate and explore objects and ideas, materials and technologies. Children explore technologies taking particular note of the materials, equipment, and ways to work safely to make products. They begin to develop an understanding that products have a purpose for their own personal needs and that of others. Children have opportunities to create solutions through guided learning, focusing on ideas and design for a personal need. They use available technologies and materials to safely manage and create a preferred solution, and evaluate these solutions based on personal preferences.

In the middle to late childhood phase of schooling, students develop a sense of self, their world expands, and they begin to see themselves as members of larger communities. Learning experiences emphasise and lead to an appreciation of both the commonality and diversity of human experience and concerns.

\n

Design and Technologies builds on concepts previously acquired and students continue to develop understanding in design thinking skills, such as products to assist people with limited mobility, hearing or sight, and outlining procedures to achieve solutions.

\n

In Year 3, students have opportunities to learn about technologies in society and to create solutions in at least one of the following Design and Technologies contexts: Engineering principles and systems, Food and fibre production, Food specialisations, and Materials and technologies specialisations. Students are provided with opportunities to manage, develop ideas, design and make products for individual and/or local community needs.

\n

Students apply design thinking skills to generate multiple ideas for their designed solutions. They learn to define problems using project management skills. Students experiment with appropriate work protocols and consider ways to improve, modify or adapt for different situations, including safety. They use given criteria to evaluate diagrams, technologies and the components used for the designed solution.

\n

Students explore and recognise roles people in Design and Technologies occupations have in the local community. They explore ways technologies are designed for solutions and used to create products, services or environments to meet individual or local community needs. In Engineering principles and systems, students observe and recognise ways forces and the properties of materials affect the behaviour of objects. In Food and fibre production, students recognise food and fibre are produced to meet food and clothing needs. In Food specialisations, students select food to nourish the body for energy to move and support growth. In Materials and technologies specialisations, students select and safely use suitable materials, appropriate technologies and components to create a product to achieve a designed solution.

\n

In the Design and Technologies contexts, students develop a sequence of steps to achieve a designed solution. They define features of a design brief and communicate ideas using labelled drawings and technical terms. Students select and safely use appropriate technologies and components to develop a solution. They use given criteria to evaluate diagrams, technologies and components used for the designed solution. Students follow a plan, communicate sequenced steps to manage and create a product, service or environment for an individual or local community need.

In the middle to late childhood phase of schooling, students develop a sense of self, their world expands, and they begin to see themselves as members of larger communities. Learning experiences emphasise and lead to an appreciation of both the commonality and diversity of human experience and concerns.

\n

Design and Technologies builds on concepts previously acquired and students continue to develop an understanding of design thinking skills. Students experiment with a variety of materials to investigate the advantages of different representational forms for different purposes and situations, such as for engineering systems, food and fibre production, food preparation systems, and suitability and functionality in a product.

\n

In Year 6, students have opportunities to learn about technologies in society and ways people in design and technologies occupations address competing considerations, including sustainable factors, as they create solutions in at least one of the following Design and Technologies contexts: Engineering principles and systems, Food and fibre production, Food specialisations, and Materials and technologies specialisations. Students consider ways competing technologies are used in the production of products and develop an understanding of designs for services and environments for community needs.

\n

Students understand and appreciate different points of view, develop the ability to think in more abstract terms, and undertake sustained activities for longer periods. They work collaboratively and communicate decisions to develop agreed protocols, set goals, manage competing factors, resources and time to develop solutions for a given task. Students design alternative solutions, achieved through an iterative process. They develop negotiated criteria to evaluate design features, selected technologies, functionality and consideration of constraints of the designed solution to achieve a purpose.

By the end of the year:

\n

Students identify ways people address competing considerations, including sustainable factors in the design of products, services and environments. In Engineering principles and systems, students connect ways electrical energy and forces can control motion, sound or light in a product or system. In Food and fibre production, students consider design features, consumer demand and managed environments for food and natural fibre systems. In Food specialisations, students consider food choices, consumer demands, and preparation systems in the design of a meal/food product. In Materials and technologies specialisations, students consider the properties of selected materials, technologies and production systems, to plan and develop a designed solution for an identified purpose.

\n

In the Design and Technologies contexts, students define ways competing considerations affect decisions on the selection of technologies, resources, techniques and sustainable factors in the design of a solution. Students manage and consider alternative solutions through discussion, critical thinking, modifying processes and initial design ideas using a range of appropriate technical terms, technologies and techniques. They implement production plans and safe procedures when using a variety of technologies and components to produce solutions. Students develop negotiated criteria to evaluate design features, selected technologies, processes and functionality of the designed solution. They use agreed protocols to set goals, manage competing factors, resources and time, and communicate decisions and solutions for a given task.

Design and Technologies focuses on further development of understanding and design thinking skills in ways products evolve locally to achieve designed solutions. Students begin to develop an interest in particular fields of knowledge, such as engineering, food and fibre production, food systems and various materials and their use.

\n

In Year 7, students have opportunities to learn about technologies in society and ways people in design and technologies occupations consider competing factors, social and ethical influences and existing technologies in at least one of the following Design and Technologies contexts: Engineering principles and systems, Food and fibre production, Food specialisations, and Materials and technologies specialisations. Students are provided with opportunities to investigate ways products, services and environments evolve locally with the use of various technologies.

\n

Students are provided with opportunities to manage and create a range of designed solutions to achieve a specific purpose. They extend understanding of the vital role and ways design and technologies are incorporated in everyday life. When defining problems, students identify the key elements of the problem, the intended purpose and ways competing factors and constraints are at play. They manage and design increasingly complex processes and solutions with given technologies and techniques, considering social and ethical influences. Students collaborate and implement agreed protocols when using a range of technologies, components and equipment to produce design solutions. They plan and manage individual and team projects with autonomy. Students consider ways of managing the exchange of ideas, time and available resources, and use given contextual criteria to evaluate design processes and solutions.

Design and Technologies focuses on enhancing the understanding of design thinking skills to achieve solutions, including the use of a wide range of technologies, materials and systems to broaden experiences and involvement in local and regional projects.

\n

In Year 8, students have opportunities to learn about technologies in society and ways people design for change, considering ethical and sustainable factors, available technologies and systems for designed solutions in at least one of the following Design and Technologies contexts: Engineering principles and systems, Food and fibre production, Food specialisations, and Materials and technologies specialisations. Students consider ways products, services and/or environments are designed and developed with creative and innovative application of technologies.

\n

Students have opportunities to investigate a problem for a given need or opportunity, considering ethical and sustainable factors for the design and development of products and systems, including economic factors, use of locally or regionally sourced materials based on reliable supply chains to achieve designed solutions. They establish project management procedures that minimise risk and consider safety and efficiency, using materials, components and systems in combination with specialised technologies for the design, development and production of products, systems and/or environments.

Students recognise ways products, services and/or environments are designed and developed with creative and innovative use of technologies. They consider ethical and sustainable factors to design solutions for a local or regional need, or opportunity. Designed solutions consider economic factors, locally or regionally sourced materials and reliable supply chains. In Engineering principles and systems, students use force, motion and energy to control and manipulate engineered systems, and produce products. In Food and fibre production, students consider ways competing factors influence the design of food and fibre production systems. In Food specialisations, students recognise ways nutritious, sustainable diets and the physical properties of food determine processing techniques for designed solutions. In Materials and technologies specialisations, students recognise how the selection of materials, components, systems and specialised technologies influence processes to achieve designed solutions for an identified need.

\n

In the Design and Technologies contexts, students investigate and develop a design brief for a given need or opportunity to achieve a specific purpose. They consider a range of technologies, techniques, resources, use appropriate technical terms and communicate alternative ideas to develop designed solutions. Students implement agreed protocols, using a range of components and processes to produce designed solutions. They develop contextual criteria to evaluate design processes and solutions.

Design and Technologies enhances development of the understanding and application of design thinking skills precisely and accurately to describe problems, and the use of functional properties to develop solutions. It also focuses on engaging students with specialised learning, considering enterprising behaviours and entrepreneurial activities.

\n

In Year 9, students have opportunities to learn about technologies in society and ways people consider social, ethical and sustainable factors, and use of specialised technologies in at least one of the following Design and Technologies contexts: Engineering principles and systems, Food and fibre production, Food specialisations, and Materials and technologies specialisations. Students explore ways products, services and environments are designed and developed, considering economic factors and alternative technologies to achieve designed solutions for a specified community need.

\n

Students investigate and analyse problems to define a range of technologies, resources and components required to develop ideas and solutions to design alternative solutions. They consider available technologies, usability, aesthetics and application of appropriate technical terms. Students develop a strong awareness of social, ethical and sustainable considerations for the design and development of engineered products, specialised food and fibre products, food production systems or materials-based products and systems, including consumer values and management of resources to achieve designed solutions for a specified community need. They manage projects, using suitable technologies, with an agile and collaborative approach and use management processes, considering time, risk, economic and sustainable factors.

By the end of the year:

\n

Students consider ways social, ethical and sustainable factors affect the development of designed solutions for products, services and environments to meet community needs. In Engineering principles and systems, students consider properties of materials and the influencing factors of force, motion and energy for a designed solution. In Food and fibre production, students consider ways competing factors, including social, environmental and economic, influence design features and function of specialised food and fibre for designed solutions. In Food specialisations, students consider ways nutrition, sensory properties, global tastes, packaging and labelling responsibilities influence development of specialised products to achieve designed solutions. In Materials and technologies specialisations, students identify ways the properties of materials, components, systems and specialised technologies are used to develop designed solutions.

\n

In the Design and Technologies contexts, students ideate a problem and define the needs of an end user to develop a design brief for a solution. They investigate a range of technologies, resources and components required to develop ideas and solutions, with consideration of constraints. Students select, implement and test a range of technologies, techniques and processes to produce designed solutions and/or prototypes. They evaluate design processes and solutions against student-developed criteria including social and ethical factors.

In the middle adolescence phase of schooling, teaching and learning programs encourage students to develop an open and questioning view of themselves as active participants in their society and the world.

\n

Design and Technologies builds on the earlier work students have experienced in investigating patterns, processes and phenomena, and explore forms of representation and use of a range of technologies. They understand that particular ways of managing, working and thinking have developed over time for particular reasons and may still be subject to critical review, revision and change. Learning experiences will enhance working collaboratively and enable students to draw on increasingly diverse and complex sources of information to facilitate comparing, contrasting, synthesising, questioning and critiquing information to achieve desired solutions.

\n

In Year 10, students have opportunities to learn about technologies in society and ways people consider social, ethical, sustainable and security factors to adapt and improve design and production systems in at least one of the following Design and Technologies contexts: Engineering principles and systems, Food and fibre production, Food specialisations, and Materials and technologies specialisations. Students develop an understanding of ways products, services and environments are designed and developed. They consider specialised occupations and economic factors to identify market opportunities, innovate, create and develop entrepreneurial behaviours.

\n

Students consider ways social, ethical, sustainable and security factors affect designed solutions, complexity of design, and production processes. In Engineering principles and systems, students identify the process of combining materials with force, motion and energy to design solutions. In Food and fibre production, students consider the role of technological innovations in ways food and fibre products are grown, processed and marketed in the design of sustainable products and systems. In Food specialisations, students select processing techniques for the preservation of food products, considering nutrition principles, consumer and/or producer values and ways properties influence design, preparation and development of specialised food products. In Materials and technologies specialisations, students consider the functional properties of materials and the application of specialised technologies and systems in the design and development of designed solutions.

In the Design and Technologies contexts, students ideate a problem and define the needs of the client/stakeholder to develop a design brief and determine the basis for a designed solution. They determine required resources and availability to develop designed solutions, considering associated constraints. Students consider specialised occupations and economic factors to identify market opportunities, innovate, create and develop entrepreneurial behaviours to design and develop products, services and environments for clients/stakeholders. Students provide relevant analysis to evaluate design processes and solutions against student-developed criteria.
