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• Outdated and unclear terminology was reviewed and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.

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 changes
The 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

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.

Identification and exploration of the need
As lifestyles become more hectic and busy, time to relax and enjoy hobbies
is becoming limited. The need for a system that allows an individual to relax,
whilst enjoying their hobbies is increasing.
My mother is a keen embroiderer and enjoys a range of other textile based
hobbies. She has been undertaking these crafts for more than the past ten
years. During this time she has often wanted to take her craft outside to work
in the sunshine but there has never been a suitable place for her to sew. We
have a large outdoor deck and entertaining area, but it lacks the features that
my mother needs to be able to relax and enjoy her recreational pursuits
comfortably and with ease.
