Session 1 – Syllabus changes
The aim of this session is to:• review the changes to the syllabus• identify resources that you may use to support
the changes.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Overview of syllabus changes• The previous syllabus was approved in November 2007 for
implementation in 2008 after a series of minor amendments were made to rectify inconsistencies within the ‘learn about’ and ‘learn to’ content points. At that time terminology was updated and the examination criteria for the Major Design Project was refined.
• Following this, there was a review and subsequent adjustment of the marking guidelines for the Major Design Project.
• The current syllabus was approved in June 2009 with assessment and reporting information updated, but syllabus content remained unchanged.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Summary – Why was the syllabus amended?
• Outdated and unclear terminology was reviewed and replaced as required.
• Outcome H6.1 relating to the study of industrial and commercial practices was modified.
• The Major Design Project examination criteria was ‘streamlined’.
• Refer to pages 5–12, Resource booklet for overview of changes.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
What happened to Outcome 6.1? H6.1 WAS… justifies technological activities undertaken in
the major design project and relates these to industrial and commercial practices.
H6.1 NOW IS … justifies technological activities undertaken in the major design project through the study of industrial and commercial practices.
WHY? It was agreed that students should study commercial and
industrial practices, however there was strong consensus that this did not need to be specifically reported on through the Major Design Project.
The study of industrial and commercial practices in Design and Technology was subsequently removed from the examination criteria of the Major Design Project.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Why change the Major Design Project (MDP) examination criteria?
The intention of the syllabus is for the outcomes to be taught through the development of design projects.
It was identified that written documentation had become the focus for many students in their HSC year.
In order to rectify this, the examination criteria was ‘streamlined’ to encourage students to report upon the design process they had undertaken.
This will be explored further in Session 3.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
The future
• Folio size limits are possible.• Proposal currently before the BOS.• Adjustments may be in place for 2011 HSC.

Unit planning – things to consider
Delivery• Staffing: possiblilities include team teaching across faculties
with differing expertise; timetabling Year 11 and 12 D&T classes on at the same time
• Scope and sequence: theory taught through the development of project work; theory taught as independent ‘chunks’ of time
• Rooming: access to multifunctional rooms to provide opportunity for quality design project solutions.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Ideas for Year 11 project work
• Group work projects based upon a genuine/authentic need.
• Provide opportunity for collaboration with others – students, teachers, community partnerships.
• Open-ended design brief, e.g. design and produce a children’s toy; design and produce an item that interests you in an area of sport or leisure; redesign your bedroom (graphics/model making); use of recycled materials; ICT projects.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Project with a genuine needCaringbah High School• Worked in partnership with local pre-school• Identified genuine need for new toys• Produced designs; evaluated concepts.
Bankstown Girls High School• Authentic need within the school environment• Development of promotional material
Both require students to undertake research with clients prior to developing solutions.
Refer to USB thumb drive.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Establishing a project task1. What do you want students to learn?
• What do they already know and can do?• Required syllabus learning.• Other knowledge, skills, values or attitudes required at this time.
2. What are the limitations for the project?• Availability of time, money, materials or other resources, equipment and facilities,
expertise.
3. Is there an authentic need or opportunity that has relevance to your students? • real benefits, purpose and use• real user/s who can provide feedback• real limitations• real context influenced by social/ethical/environmental issues.
4. What are the aspects of the project context that you can negotiate with your students?
5. What is the project task you will provide to students?
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
• In groups of no more than 2 or 3, develop design briefs that focus upon a genuine need.

Session 3 - HSC marking
The aims of this session are to:• provide teachers with insight into the HSC marking process for
both the Written examination and the Major Design Project• apply HSC marking guidelines to both written examples and
the Major Design Project.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
2010 HSC examination changesThe written examination will continue to be divided into three sections. •Sections I and II of the Design and Technology paper will remain relatively the same:
- Section I will consist of 10 multiple choice questions. - Section II will consist of short answer questions that may
contain parts.- There will be approximately four items in total. - At least one item will be worth from 4 to 6 marks.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
• Section III has changed• There will only be one structured extended response question, that all students
must attempt.• Students are guided as to the length of the response. The question will have an
expected length of response of around four pages of an examination writing booklet, (approximately 600 words) in total.
• It is presented as the approximate number of examination writing booklet pages (based on average-sized handwriting), and/or an approximate number of words.
• Students will not be penalised for responses of excess length: they may write less than or more than what is expected, and their responses will be marked on their merits.
• More details about the examination, and information about assessment components and weightings are in Assessment and Reporting in Design and Technology Stage 6.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Written marking(Refer to page 37, Resource booklet)
• The written marking operation is managed by the Supervisor of Marking supported by the Assistant Supervisor of Marking and Chief Examiner from the Exam Committee and a number of Senior Markers.
• Each senior marker supervises a team of approximately 10 markers including a pilot marker, all of whom mark a single examination question, e.g. Section 1, Question 1. There may be more than one team that marks the same question.
• When the examination paper is written it includes a set of marking guidelines, these are used to inform the marking process.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Marking guidelines
‘The marking guidelines describe the full range of performance
typically demonstrated by students. Descriptions are given for
ranges of marks, representing performances at different levels of
achievement. In marking a response, the marker initially assigns
it to one of these levels, and the judgement is then refined to
decide on the mark to be awarded. Markers use a variety of
strategies, including sample responses, to assist them in this
process.’ (BOS: 2001)
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Where do the guidelines come from?
• There are clear links between the Design and Technology syllabus outcomes, the Student learn to and learn about’s, the examination question and the marking guidelines.
• From these guidelines a marking scheme is developed to assist markers in determining the appropriate mark range to award.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Written exam – Marking process• Marking commences with the Senior Markers reading a broad range of
student responses (scripts), then reviewing and applying the marking guidelines to the question they are overseeing. Minor adjustments may be made to the guidelines in consultation with the SOM and Chief Examiner.
• Pilot markers test the marking guidelines against a range of scripts. Annotated benchmark scripts are developed.
• A number of exam scripts are selected by Senior Markers and practice marking commences with all markers to ensure the marking guidelines are applied consistently. Markers refer to annotated benchmark scripts.
• Markers commence marking scripts. These are sample checked by Senior Marker for accuracy.
• At regular intervals a common script is marked to ensure markers are not deviating from the marking guidelines.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Activity 3a: Marking the written paper
The purpose of this activity is to:• gain familiarity with the processes used to mark the written
paper

Glossary of key words – Design & Technology HSC Examination 2008 Q12 Part (a)
The glossary contains key words that appear frequently in Board of Studies syllabuses, performance descriptions and examinations , for example:
Explain Relate cause and effect; make the relationships between things evident; provide why and/or how Describe Provide characteristics and features Outline Sketch in general terms; indicate the main features of Identify Recognise and name
http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/glossary_keywords.html
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Tips for responding to the written paper
• Understand all syllabus outcomes as these are what will be examined.
• Develop an effective examination strategy that students have practised regularly.
• Apply knowledge of innovation and emerging technologies and designing and producing to responses.
• Be specific and provide relevant examples from their studies to illustrate depth of understanding.
Technology Unit, Curriculum K-12 Directorate
• Write succinctly. The examination is 90 minutes long, this doesn’t allow for responses that wander. Students should plan their response prior to commencing writing and work to a time plan.
• Read the questions very carefully, ensuring students provide the appropriate level of detail in their response. Many students do not gain full marks for questions because they do not provide the next step —the deeper level of understanding — that takes them to a higher mark range.
• Relate to themselves as designers and to the work of other designers.
