Technology Achievement Objectives - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Undertake planning to identify the key stages and resources required to develop an outcome. Revisit planning to include reviews of progress and identify implications for subsequent decision making.
    - - Describe the nature of an intended outcome, explaining how it addresses the need or opportunity. Describe the key attributes that enable development and evaluation of an outcome.
    - - Investigate a context to develop ideas for potential outcomes. Trial and evaluate these against key attributes to select and develop an outcome to address the need or opportunity. Evaluate this outcome against the key attributes and how it addresses the need or opportunity.
  - - - Undertake planning that includes reviewing the effectiveness of past actions and resourcing, exploring implications for future actions and accessing of resources, and consideration of stakeholder feedback, to enable the development of an outcome.
    - - Justify the nature of an intended outcome in relation to the need or opportunity. Describe the key attributes identified in stakeholder feedback, which will inform the development of an outcome and its evaluation.
    - - Investigate a context to develop ideas for feasible outcomes. Undertake functional modelling that takes account of stakeholder feedback in order to select and develop the outcome that best addresses the key attributes. Incorporating stakeholder feedback, evaluate the outcome’s fitness for purpose in terms of how well it addresses the need or opportunity.
  - - - Outline a general plan to support the development of an outcome, identifying appropriate steps and resources.
    - - Describe the outcome they are developing and identify the attributes it should have, taking account of the need or opportunity and the resources available.
    - - Investigate a context to communicate potential outcomes. Evaluate these against attributes; select and develop an outcome in keeping with the identified attributes.
  - - - Analyse their own and others’ planning practices to inform the selection and use of planning tools. Use these to support and justify planning decisions (including those relating to the management of resources) that will see the development of an outcome through to completion.
    - - Justify the nature of an intended outcome in relation to the need or opportunity. Describe specifications that reflect key stakeholder feedback and that will inform the development of an outcome and its evaluation.
    - - Analyse their own and others’ outcomes to inform the development of ideas for feasible outcomes. Undertake ongoing functional modelling and evaluation that takes account of key stakeholder feedback and trialling in the physical and social environments. Use the information gained to select and develop the outcome that best addresses the specifications. Evaluate the final outcome’s fitness for purpose against the brief.
  - - - Develop a plan that identifies the key stages and the resources required to complete an outcome.
    - - Explain the outcome they are developing and describe the attributes it should have, taking account of the need or opportunity and the resources available.
    - - Investigate a context to develop ideas for potential outcomes. Evaluate these against the identified attributes, select, and develop an outcome. Evaluate the outcome in terms of the need or opportunity.
- - - - Understand that technological products are made from materials that have performance properties.
    - - Understand that technological systems have inputs, controlled transformations, and outputs.
    - - Understand that functional models are used to represent reality and test design concepts and that prototypes are used to test technological outcomes.
  - - - Understand that functional models are used to explore, test, and evaluate design concepts for potential outcomes and that prototyping is used to test a technological outcome for fitness of purpose.
    - - Understand that there is a relationship between a material used and its performance properties in a technological product.
    - - Understand that there are relationships between the inputs, controlled transformations, and outputs occurring within simple technological systems.
  - - - Understand that different forms of functional modelling are used to inform decision making in the development of technological possibilities and that prototypes can be used to evaluate the fitness of technological outcomes for further development.
    - - Understand the relationship between the materials used and their performance properties in technological products.
    - - Understand that technological systems are represented by symbolic language tools and understand the role played by the “black box” in technological systems.
  - - - Understand how different forms of functional modelling are used to explore possibilities and to justify decision making and how prototyping can be used to justify refinement of technological outcomes.
    - - Understand that materials can be formed, manipulated, and/or transformed to enhance the fitness for purpose of a technological product.
    - - Understand how technological systems employ control to allow for the transformation of inputs to outputs.
  - - - Understand how evidence, reasoning, and decision making in functional modelling contribute to the development of design concepts and how prototyping can be used to justify ongoing refinement of outcomes.
    - - Understand how materials are selected, based on desired performance criteria.
    - - Understand the properties of subsystems within technological systems.
- - - - Understand that technological outcomes are products or systems developed by people and have a physical nature and a functional nature.
    - - Understand that technology is purposeful intervention through design.
  - - - Understand that technology both reflects and changes society and the environment and increases people’s capability.
    - - Understand that technological outcomes are developed through technological practice and have related physical and functional natures.
  - - - Understand how society and environments impact on and are influenced by technology in historical and contemporary contexts and that technological knowledge is validated by successful function.
    - - Understand that technological outcomes are recognisable as fit for purpose by the relationship between their physical and functional natures.
  - - - Understand that technological outcomes can be interpreted in terms of how they might be used and by whom and that each has a proper function as well as possible alternative functions.
    - - Understand how technological development expands human possibilities and how technology draws on knowledge from a wide range of disciplines.
  - - - Understand how people’s perceptions and acceptance of technology impact on technological developments and how and why technological knowledge becomes codified.
    - - Understand that technological outcomes are fit for purpose in terms of time and context. Understand the concept of malfunction and how “failure” can inform future outcomes.
