Welcome everyone! Today, we start with Criterion A, which is all about inquiring and analyzing. Can anyone tell me why it's important to explain the need for a solution?
Is it because we need to understand the problem before we create a solution?
Exactly! You need to justify your design by explaining the problem. This is where research comes in. What kind of research do you think is helpful?
I think looking at similar products can help us identify what works and what doesnβt.
Great point! Analyzing existing products can provide inspiration. Remember the acronym 'PEAR' - Problem, Existing Products, Analysis, Requirements. This helps you cover all bases. Let's move to the next criterion.

Now, let's talk about Criterion B! What do we mean by developing feasible ideas?
It means making sure our ideas can actually be built and are relevant to the problem!
Correct! It starts with forming design specifications. Can you name a digital tool we might use?
CAD software would be great for creating technical drawings!
Absolutely! And let's remember 'IDEA': Inspiration, Design specifications, Execution, and Articulation of ideas. This will help in the creative process. Any questions on developing ideas?

Moving on to Criterion C β Creating the Solution. Why do we need a logical plan?
I think a logical plan helps keep us on track and ensures we have everything we need.
Exactly! Planning allows us to organize materials and resources. Remember the '4 P's concept: Plan, Prepare, Produce, and Perfect. Can anyone give an example of a tool used in making?
3D printing can help us create prototypes!
Great example! Always think about how to implement your plan effectively. Keep refining your solution as you go!

Finally, we have Criterion D: Evaluating. Whatβs the first step in evaluating our solution?
We need to test it against our design specifications!
Exactly! Evaluating involves testing and seeing if the solution works as intended. Letβs consider the 'RISE' method: Review, Impact assessment, Suggestions for improvement, and Explain future considerations.
And we should also think about how our solution affects the environment, right?
Yes! Ethical and sustainability aspects are vital. Always reflect on the bigger picture!

The section details the four key assessment criteria used in MYP Year 5 Design: Inquiring and Analysing, Developing Ideas, Creating the Solution, and Evaluating. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these criteria to foster creativity, problem-solving, and technological fluency among students.
The assessment framework in the MYP Year 5 Design course comprises four crucial criteria, designed to guide students in developing their design projects. These criteriaβInquiring and Analysing, Developing Ideas, Creating the Solution, and Evaluatingβenable students to systematically approach problem-solving in technology and innovation contexts.
Objective: To justify the need for solutions by identifying key research areas and developing a detailed design brief. Students learn to articulate problems, prioritize research, and analyze existing products for inspiration.
Objective: To create feasible design specifications and present innovative ideas through drawings, models, or prototypes. Emphasizes the use of digital tools and the development of detailed planning materials.
Objective: To apply technical skills in crafting a product while following a logical plan, adjusting as necessary to meet specifications. This criterion highlights creativity during the making process with emerging technologies.
Objective: To test solutions against design specifications and reflect on their impact. Assessment includes the evaluation of ethical, social, and environmental considerations, encouraging critical thinking about technology's broader implications.
In summary, mastering these criteria is essential for students to create real-world solutions effectively. The assessment criteria not only align with educational objectives but also prepare students for future endeavors in various fields that require innovation and responsible design.

Students should be able to explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem and identify and prioritize primary and secondary research to develop a detailed design brief.
The objective emphasizes that students need to not only come up with an idea to solve a problem but also articulate why that solution is necessary. This involves understanding the problem's context deeply through extensive research. They must distinguish between primary research (direct data collection) and secondary research (utilizing existing information) to create a comprehensive design brief that sets out the details of their proposed solution.
Imagine a student wants to design a new chair for their study space. First, they would need to explain why a new chair is necessaryβperhaps their current chair is uncomfortable or outdated. Then, they would gather information, like surveying other students on their preferences (primary research) and looking at existing chair designs (secondary research) to ensure their new design meets actual needs.

Identify and prioritize research to help develop a clear understanding of the context.
This chunk discusses the importance of research in the design process. Students must learn to distinguish between different types of research and decide which pieces of information are most valuable in shaping their understanding of the problem they are addressing. Prioritizing helps them focus on the most relevant data that will directly inform their design.
Think about planning a vacation. To choose the best destination, you would look at various travel guides (secondary research) and maybe ask friends who have visited those places (primary research). If one destination is known for its beaches and you love the beach, you prioritize that information to help make your decision.

Analyse similar existing products to inspire and inform the design.
In this part of the objective, students are encouraged to look at what already exists in the market. By analyzing similar products, they can identify features that work well and aspects that might be lacking. This analysis informs their own designs by either incorporating these successful elements or improving on the shortcomings of current solutions.
Consider a chef who wants to create a new dish. The chef would taste and analyze other dishes already out there, noting what flavors work well together and which ones don't. This way, they can design a dish that is both innovative and appealing, avoiding known pitfalls.

Develop a detailed design brief that outlines the purpose, requirements, and context of the solution.
Finally, students are tasked with creating a design brief, a comprehensive document that encapsulates the projectβs goals. This brief should detail what the solution should achieve, the necessary requirements for success, and the context in which the solution will be used. A well-crafted brief serves as a roadmap for the design process.
If you were building a treehouse, your design brief would include why youβre building it (to have a fun space for kids), what it needs to include (like safety features and enough room for play), and where it will be located (in a certain type of tree in your backyard). This clarity ensures the project stays focused and effective.
