Explanatory Notes 1 This achievement standard is derived from Technology in the New Zealand Curriculum, Learning Media, Ministry
of Education, 1995; Level 7, and Hangarau i roto i te Marautanga o Aotearoa, Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga, 1999.
2 Useful information is available in Safety and Technology Education: A Guidance Manual for New Zealand
Schools, Learning Media, Ministry of Education, 1998; and in the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992. 3 The issue needs to be identified by the student from a teacher-given context. The issue may be personal to the
student, or one owned by others. This issue will generate a range of needs or opportunities for technological practice.
4 A conceptual design is a description of an intended technological outcome (product, system, or environment). 5 Develop and model includes all aspects of technological practice from the identification of the issue through to
the modelling of the conceptual design. Model means to investigate and construct a representation to explain, explore, and test the characteristics sought in a fully developed conceptual design. Modelling can be used for ongoing evaluation throughout the development of a conceptual design.
6 Modelling media may include (but are not limited to) the following – two- or three-dimensional physical models
(full-sized or scaled), computer simulations using a range of computer and audio-visual mediums, folios, OHTs, sketches with written explanatory notes.
7 A brief is a clear description of both the desirable outcomes sought and the constraints to be met by a
successful technological outcome. A brief commences with a conceptual statement of the need, issues, or opportunity being addressed, and also contains the detailed specifications against which the success or otherwise of the outcome can be tested. Ideally, the brief is fully researched and defined in advance of development of the technological outcome but often, as the development work proceeds, the knowledge and understanding of the technologist improves sufficiently that refinements (usually improvements) are made to the brief and its specifications.
8 Planning is used to structure technological practice into manageable stages and establish key milestone dates
and expected outcomes. Planning includes such things as identifying how key resources, which may include (but are not limited to) time, expertise, materials and finance, are allocated and used efficiently during the development of a technological outcome. Planning is critical to ensure that effective consultation with stakeholders will be carried out so that all constraints and requirements are met and/or opportunities are optimised. Tools that are used for planning will depend on the nature and the stage of the technological practice being undertaken. Planning tools include such things as plans of action, Gantt charts, flow charts, block sequence diagrams, journal notes.
Planning must reflect the dynamic and evolving nature of development work due to the ongoing evaluations and subsequent modifications and/or refinements. Regular reviews of planning tools should be undertaken and required changes made to ensure remaining time and resources are allocated to achieve the desired technological outcome.
9 Evidence of planning needs to be demonstrated throughout the student’s entire technological practice. 10 Key factors are those that contribute both directly and indirectly to a specific technological practice and may
include: • broader factors, such as legal, social, cultural, political, environmental and economic factors including
consideration of global and future trends, and culture of technological innovation • stakeholder factors, such as beliefs, ethics, values, ability to access knowledge and skills, and social
position • knowledge and skills available that may underpin the development and use of the given technology.
11 Viability of the conceptual design refers to the capacity to meet the specifications of the brief, address possible
social and environmental impact(s), meet likely future demand, and address availability of resources for its maintenance.
12 Key stakeholders are those stakeholders who have a vested interest in the identified issue.

Final Judgement: ACHIEVED Evidence Judgements for Achievement Judgements for Merit Judgements for Excellence
The student has planned:
• Initial plans project a logical
organisation for complete practice with
key milestone stages, time and other
resources allocated.
Initial Planning
Initial planning has been done using
appropriate planning tools, including
brainstorm notes, an initial plan of action,
and visual diary notes. The initial plan of
action includes a broad outline of different
stages of the project (planning,
development, implementation), as well as
the timelines for each stage, and the due
date.1
1 Context and Issue

• Resources are allocated as practice is
carried out.
Resources
An initial brainstorm of resources is
identified including human resources, time,
budget, expertise, materials, and
equipment.2 Research materials relating
to the context and issue have been
sourced from the internet, and relevant
sections highlighted.3 An outline of
resources will be used is identified, and
included in the section titled Resources.
This includes peripherals, software, and
hardware and text books.
how all
Evidence has been provided for the digital
camera booking, in the form of an email to
the relevant staff member. Evidence has
also been provided for permission sought
for the use of photographs of school sports
that have been used in the project.
A screen dump has been included as
evidence for the type of software that has
been used i.e., InDesign.
Resources have been outlined throughout
planning in the Plan of Action.

• Processes planned and used are detailed
with reasons for choices and changes
discussed.
Processes
Planning is outlined in a logical sequence
that is easy to follow:
• Context and issue
• Key factors
• Resources
• Communication with stakeholders
• Planning – Plan of Action
• Design Brief
• Design Concepts
• Final Evaluation
Notes are included throughout the entire
planning process to communicate choices
made ie., poster size and ease of
reproducing prints at school instead of
sending print jobs out of school4

• Planning through practice refers to the
initial plans and changes are made as
new resources are identified, or as the
use of previously identified resources is
reprioritised, eg. Time allocations are
changed to accommodate an overrun in
a previous stage and consequences of
the changes are considered and planned
for.
Planning through practice
An initial Plan of Action [draft] is evident
and includes timeframes, dates, tasks,
reference to key factors (including
stakeholder needs, views, attitudes,
desires, technological issues, design
issues, legal, political and ethical issues),
stakeholders, due date and actual date of
completion.
A final Plan of Action is also evident which
is formatted the same as the initial Plan of
Action. The final Plan of Action is more
detailed, and updates to the plan are
included and evident through the use of a
different coloured pen.
• Possible and actual problems have been
identified and planning has taken place
to minimise, eliminate or resolve them.
The success of the planned action is
evaluated and modifications made where
necessary.
In the final Plan of Action, information is
also more refined in terms of some of the
changes that have been addressed.
“Record information from interview”
incorporates stakeholder feedback.
References are also made to the target
audience of school students and parents, in
redeveloping ideas to make the design
solution eye catching.

The student has:
Identified, through their practice, key
factors (including those associated with
key stakeholders’ views, attitudes, needs
and desires, knowledge bases and wider
influences) relating to the issue and,
• Explored and explained the implications
of key factors in terms of the practice
being undertaken and the desired
outcome.
• Explained interactions of key factors and
their implications.
• Prioritised these and reprioritised them
as new factors are identified, justifying
decisions.
Determined the main implications for
resolving the identified issue.
Context and Issue
The student has identified an issue from
the context of ‘school sport’ that was
provided by the teacher. The issue
identified is “Improving the attitude and
behaviour of spectators at school sporting
events”.
Key Factors
A range of key factors relating to the
context and issue are identified which
include stakeholder needs, views,
attitudes, desires, technological issues,
design issues, legal, political and ethical
issues. A brainstorm is evident in
identifying the key factors.5 The detailed
notes have been used to identify tasks and
have been included and addressed through
the initial Plan of Action. The tasks have
been prioritised in order by which they
have been addressed, and reprioritised in
the final Plan of Action, including
justifications for the changes.
Key Factors
The brainstorm notes have been
elaborated on in more detail, explaining
their implications in terms of developing a
design solution i.e., the need for
stakeholder feedback and having access to
stakeholders, having access to equipment
(computer suite, digital camera) and
resources requirements (printing).6
Evidence of stakeholder feedback has been
obtained, which includes ideas for further
development of concept ideas; Mrs Pamaka
“be positive, encourage spectators, no put
downs”; Miss Murray “role models from the
seniors”. The stakeholder feedback was
evaluated, and then used to develop
design concepts; Mrs Pamaka’s feedback
lead to the development of the crossword-
orientated poster, Miss Murray’s feedback
lead to the development of the 1st XV
rugby team poster.
Legal consent for the use of photographs is
identified as a key factor in the Plan of
Action, which includes notes on why it is a
key factor and who it impacts on. Evidence
is included in the form of written
permission, which demonstrates proof of
how the issue has been resolved.
5 Key Factors - Brainstorm 6 Key Factors – Detailed Notes
Evidence Judgements for Achievement Judgements for Merit Judgements for Excellence
Stakeholder Issues
Stakeholder feedback was sought
regarding views on spectator behaviour,
views on developing posters as a means of
addressing the issue of spectator
behaviour, and whether the posters met
the stakeholder expectations
Design Issues
Design issues have been identified and
explained in detail in the concept
evaluation, including colour choices, font
choices, font sizes. The implications of the
design issues were explained in terms of
making the information “easy to read from
a distance”7
Technology Issues
An example of a technology issue that
were identified, was access to digital
equipment i.e., digital camera and booking
the computer suite with the software
required. Notes are included in the Plan of
Action addressing these issues, and email
evidence is included for booking the
camera
Wider aspects
Reference has been made to the need for
legal consent for the use of photographs in
the Plan of Action. Notes have also been
included stating that permission is required
from Mrs Pamaka, Principal of Tamaki
College, for the use of school photographs.
7 Concept Evaluation
Evidence Judgements for Achievement Judgements for Merit Judgements for Excellence
The student has:
Formulated an initial brief using the
prioritised key factors to address the issue.
Refinements are made to the brief to take
into consideration new knowledge and
insights as development is carried out.
Initial Brief
An initial brief has been developed that
incorporates aspects identified in the key
factors such as ethical issues (convey the
school in a positive way) and legal issues
(use of original images).
Final Design Brief
The final design brief has been refined to
incorporate the issue identified by the
student. The revised brief also focuses on
producing one type of design solution
(posters), as opposed to producing a
variety of design solutions (brochure and
posters). Also outlined in the brief are
specifications associated with size and how
that would impact on printing (onsite at
school or sourced out of school). This
relates to key factors outlined in the
evaluations that follow on from the Plan of
Action.
Evidence Judgements for Achievement Judgements for Merit Judgements for Excellence
The student has:
• Developed a conceptual design. The
development work includes modelling,
evaluations of the models and
modification or re-development where
necessary.
• Evaluated ideas and given reasons for
key decisions.
• Produced a conceptual design that
effectively meets the needs of key
stakeholders as outlined in the brief.
• Used modelling media that displays the
key attributes identified in the brief and
that is suitable for the intended
audience.
• Provided supporting documentation that
explains how the conceptual design
addresses the issue, meets the brief ’s
requirements and justifies the viability of
the conceptual design as a potential
solution.
Conceptual Designs
Evidence of conceptual designs is clearly
demonstrated from early sketches, through
to digital design concepts, and design
ideas. There is evidence of modification or
redevelopment of the designs.
Evaluated ideas
Each design concept has been evaluated,
outlining issues associated with each
design. Some of the issues outlined
include colour schemes, font styles and
size, images.
Produced a conceptual design
Conceptual designs have been produced.
Key stakeholders provided feedback on
their thoughts of the final designs.
Evidence of the feedback is included in the
portfolio.8 A final evaluation has been
produced for the final design solutions, and
includes references on how the final
designs have met the specifications and
constraints outlined in the design brief.
