ADT Design & Technology Curriculum Mapping & Learning Journey Key Stage 3
ADT Design Technology Learning Journey Key Stage 3 & the iterative design process Key stage 3 Through a variety of creative and practical activities, pupils should be taught the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to engage in an iterative process of designing and making. They should work in a range of domestic and local contexts [for example, the home, health, leisure and culture], and industrial contexts [for example, engineering, manufacturing, construction, food, energy, agriculture (including horticulture) and fashion]. When designing and making, pupils should be taught to: Design use research and exploration, such as the study of different cultures, to identify and understand user needs identify and solve their own design problems and understand how to reformulate problems given to them develop specifications to inform the design of innovative, functional, appealing products that respond to needs in a variety of situations use a variety of approaches [for example, biomimicry and user-centered design], to generate creative ideas and avoid stereotypical responses develop and communicate design ideas using annotated sketches, detailed plans, 3-D and mathematical modelling, oral and digital presentations and computer-based tools Make select from and use specialist tools, techniques, processes, equipment and machinery precisely, including computer- aided manufacture select from and use a wider, more complex range of materials, components and ingredients, taking into account their properties Evaluate analyze the work of past and present professionals and others to develop and broaden their understanding investigate new and emerging technologies test, evaluate and refine their ideas and products against a specification, taking into account the views of intended users and other interested groups understand developments in design and technology, its impact on individuals, society and the environment, and the responsibilities of designers, engineers and technologists Technical knowledge understand and use the properties of materials and the performance of structural elements to achieve functioning solutions understand how more advanced mechanical systems used in their products enable changes in movement and force understand how more advanced electrical and electronic systems can be powered and used in their products [for example, circuits with heat, light, sound and movement as inputs and outputs] apply computing and use electronics to embed intelligence in products that respond to inputs [for example, sensors], and control outputs [for example, actuators], using programmable components [for example, microcontrollers].
