QUESTION 4

If the learners can reflect understanding and knowledge the following sub-topics: 

● The properties of common materials (e.g. wood, food, clay, plastic, paper, fabric), 

and how these properties influence the effectiveness of products

7.2 during the lesson presentation

7.3 after the lesson presentation

7.4 none of the above.

QUESTION 8

Investigates: Finds out, with assistance, about the background context (e.g. people, 

environment) when given a problem, need or opportunity.

Designs: Writes or communicates a design brief for the development of a product 

related to a given problem, need or opportunity that clarifies the 

technological purposes of the solution.

Makes: Develops plans that detail the making steps, including drawings and 

sketches that help to clarify the plans.

Evaluates: Evaluates, with assistance, the product according to the design brief, and 

suggests improvements and modifications if necessary.

Communicates: Makes presentations (posters, charts or models) of design ideas and final 

product, by combining simple two-dimensional text and sketches.

The statements above are examples of … 

8.1 the learning objectives for the subject Technology

8.2 the design process for the subject Technology

8.3 the developmental outcomes for the subject Technology

8.4 the assessment process for the subject Technology

QUESTION 9

Teaching is aimed at:

9.1 achieving a goal

9.2 achieving set learning objectives

9.3 presenting a lesson

9.4 formulating learning objectives

Answer 1

Question1.

The main purpose for the introduction of technology education in the south Africa curriculum was in recognition of the need to produce engineers, technicians, and artisans needed in modern society. Since unemployment is a constant challenge in South Africa, developing such skills as part of learners’ school curriculum may contribute to reducing unemployment levels.

Question2.

One of the guidelines for planning a lesson is that context and the alignment of aims towards lesson objectives is very important 

One of the guidelines for planning a lesson 

Question 3

In technical drawing, first angle orthographic refers to a three-dimensional object on a flat paper. In this projection, each view of the object is projected in the direction of sight of the object.

Question 4

From the sub-topics; properties of common materials, how simple processing can be used to transform materials, and reasons why different materials deteriorate and the ways of preserving them, it is evident that the statements correspond to the progression in complexity from grade four to six regarding the core content of the structure

Question 5

The lesson reflection framework is a set pattern of stages for one to follow in the lesson. It is comprised of learning objectives, instructional strategies, and assessment activities.

Question 6

The design process is the identification of everyday problems, needs, or wants of people, and the selection and application of appropriate resources, knowledge, skills, and values to develop practical solutions while encouraging the development of critical thinking skills and taking the environment into consideration.

Question 7

Learning objectives are the outcomes statements that capture specifically what knowledge, skills, and attitudes learners should be able to exhibit following instructions given. Learning objectives need to be announced before lessons start. Creating clear learning objectives helps learners get a clear picture of what is expected of them.

Question 8

The following is the design process for subject technology;

Investigates: Finds out, with assistance, about the background context (e.g. people, 

environment) when given a problem, need, or opportunity.

Designs: Writes or communicates a design brief for the development of a product 

related to a given problem, need, or opportunity that clarifies the 

technological purposes of the solution.

Makes: Develops plans that detail the making steps, including drawings and 

sketches that help to clarify the plans.

Evaluates: Evaluates, with assistance, the product according to the design brief, and 

suggests improvements and modifications if necessary.

Communicates: Makes presentations (posters, charts, or models) of design ideas and final 

product, by combining simple two-dimensional text and sketches.

Question 9

Teaching is aimed at achieving a goal.
