1 Teaching National Curriculum D&T 2014 Richard Green Chief Executive, The Design and Technology Association

2 The next 25 minutes... The new D&T national curriculum KS1-2 KS3 What is the same? What is new? What has gone but is still important? Supporting teachers Published materials Courses and CPD Membership

3 National Curriculum requirements Purpose of study Aims Subject content

4 the Design and Technology Association Everything in PoS is important Purpose of study distinctive nature of the subject and why it should be taught Aims goals for pupils learning across KS1 to 3 Subject content specific teaching requirements for each key stage

5 the Design and Technology Association Structure Two strands of subject content Design and making Cooking and nutrition Designing and making subsections Design Make Evaluate Technical knowledge Consistent presentation of subject content across all key stages

6 the Design and Technology Association Implicit curriculum principles for D&T KS1 to 3 User pupils should consider who their products are for Purpose pupils should decide which tasks their products will perform Functionality pupils should think about how their products will work Design Decisions pupils should have opportunities to make informed choices Innovation pupils should have scope to be original with their thinking Authenticity pupils should design and make products that are real, believable and can be evaluated through use

7 the Design and Technology Association What s the same in KS1-3? Designing and making process is still at the heart of the subject Pupils will create products using a wide range of materials and components Evaluation of own ideas and products Investigating and analysing existing products

8 KS1-2 - what s gone but still important Design and make assignments (DMAs) and focused practical tasks (FPTs) Planning the order of making Using ICT for research in KS2 References to safety and hygiene

9 KS1-2 what s new Iterative designing and making process Using design criteria in KS1 Annotated sketches, crosssectional and exploded diagrams in KS2 Key events and individuals in D&T in KS2 Clearer requirement to understand and use structures

10 KS1-2 what s new Applying computing in KS2 to programme, monitor and control products Using computer-aided design in KS2 Understanding and using the concept of a system in KS2

11 KS1-2 what s new Principles of a healthy and varied diet Where food comes from at KS1 Seasonality and how ingredients are grown, reared, caught and processed at KS2

12 the Design and Technology Association Food in KS1 to 3 Cooking and nutrition is compulsory at all key stages As part of their work with food, pupils should be taught how to cook and apply the principles of healthy eating Including ingredients as a material for designing and making in KS1 to 3 means food technology (designing and making with food) is compulsory D&T Association advice: Wherever possible, cooking and nutrition should be taught with designing and making rather than separately Only teach the parts of designing and making that are relevant to food Use a range of domestic, local and industrial contexts e.g. health, home, leisure, culture, food, industry, agriculture when working with food in D&T Heat sources do not have to be used at KS1

13 the Design and Technology Association What s new in KS3? Iterative designing and making process PoS goes further in providing example contexts for D&T activity New requirement to avoid stereotypical responses New requirement to identify and solve their own design problems Reformulate problems given to them

14 the Design and Technology Association What s new in KS3? Mathematical modelling

15 the Design and Technology Association What s new in KS3? Hi-tech elements including embedded intelligence in products pupils design and make Resistant materials replaced by wider, more complex range of materials

16 the Design and Technology Association What s gone (but not forgotten) in KS3 Examples: Sustainability Smart materials Subsystems and working in teams Concept of feedback in systems and control Single or multiple products

17 the Design and Technology Association Anticipated challenges in KS1 and 2 1. Ensuring the distinctive nature of the subject is fully realised in practice 2. Securing coverage and progression, particularly in KS2 3. Promoting an iterative design and make process 4. Extending the range of contexts to include domestic, local and industrial 5. Ensuring the teacher expertise and resources for cooking and nutrition 6. KS2 subject knowledge: mechanical and electrical systems, programming and control, computer-aided design, higher level drawing, innovation, key events and individuals in design and technology

18 the Design and Technology Association Anticipated challenges in KS3 1. Promoting a flexible, iterative design and make process 2. Developing teachers and trainees knowledge of new and emerging technologies 3. Ensuring pupils address design briefs they formulate themselves from contexts they are working within 4. Ensuring that pupils are taught to use mathematical modelling when designing and making 5. Extending the range of contexts within which pupils work to include domestic, local and industrial 6. Supporting teachers to develop links with industry to provide starting points and support for D&T activity
