[Design and Technology] Opportunity to provide feedback on the 2014 exam

[Robin Panousieris]

Hi All,

 

Lorraine has raised an issue that we all need to address – the SAT (folio) criteria.  With the Study design now in it’s 3rd year it is probably up for a review but no changes will be made unless people make their views none.  Mine is that the SAT criteria should line up with the 4 stages and 11 Steps of the Product design process then the students would be clearer about it as the Product design process makes sense.  We teach it but then have to rearrange it to work through the 9 criteria for the SAT – it doesn’t make sense.  

 

I will give my feedback to Leanne, but unless a few others do about what they think then Leanne will think it is just one nut case, me (and she could be right) 

 

Also the exam format changed dramatically – how did you feel about that ?  Give feedback or we have no voice. 

 

Thanks 

 

Robin Panousieris

Design and Technology and Systems Engineering teachers


The notice below is taken from the November VCAA Bulletin. 

Given the discussion on this list about VCAA providing examples of responses to the design brief options in the Product Design and Technology exam report, perhaps teachers may wish to raise this concern (and any others they may have about the exam) in the survey, or through direct contact with the exams unit (see phone number below). 

 

Also, I reckon that now may be a good time to contact the Curriculum Manager, Design and Technologies, Leanne Compton compton.leanne.l at edumail.vic.gov.au if you have any concerns about the SAT criteria. 

 

Regards, Lorraine Tran, 

former VCAA Curriculum Manager, Design and Technology


 


VCE examination survey 2014


Teachers of Units 3 and 4 VCE studies and scored VCE VET programs have the opportunity to provide the VCAA with feedback about this year's VCE examinations.

The  <https://surveymanager.com.au/anon/1953.aspx> online examination feedback survey is open until Sunday 30 November. All teachers of Units 3 and 4 are encouraged to participate in the survey, which takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete. A summary of the responses to the survey will be used to provide feedback to the examination writers and by VCAA management in the annual evaluation of the VCE assessment program.
