It highlights the qualities of student work and the match to the syllabus standards. Dimensions assessed • Analysing design problems • Applying design factors and communicating • Synthesising and evaluating designs Assessment instrument The response presented in this sample is in response to an assessment task. Designing for a community Year 12 Semester 1 Task The design folio assessment technique requires you to document a design process in response to the identified real-world design problem. Design problem People are sometimes unaware the difficulties they experience in their daily lives can often be improved by identifying the problem/s and devising a solution/s. Context Community, student-identified field Need or opportunity You are to investigate aspects of your local community and identify a need or opportunity that requires a problem solution. Length 1000–1500 words plus a product You will engage in a design process with three stages: • exploring a design problem • developing ideas • producing a product. In the design process, these stages should lead to the development of new ideas and an innovative product.

• Synthesising and evaluating designs
Assessment instrument The response presented in this sample is in response to an assessment task.
Designing for a community Year 12 Semester 1 Task The design folio assessment technique requires you to document a design process in response to the identified real-world design problem. Design problem People are sometimes unaware the difficulties they experience in their daily lives can often be improved by identifying the problem/s and devising a solution/s. Context Community, student-identified field Need or opportunity You are to investigate aspects of your local community and identify a need or opportunity that requires a problem solution. Length 1000–1500 words plus a product You will engage in a design process with three stages: • exploring a design problem • developing ideas • producing a product.
In the design process, these stages should lead to the development of new ideas and an innovative product.

Instrument-specific standards matrix The indicative response has been matched to instrument-specific standards matrix; those which best describe the student work in this sample are shown below. For more information about the syllabus dimensions and standards descriptors, see www.qsa.qld.edu.au/20323.html.
Standard A
Analysing design problems
The student work has the following characteristics:
• thorough description of design problems and identification of comprehensive and relevant design criteria
• discerning and thorough interpretation of design problems using design factors
• comprehensive and discerning analysis of the impacts of design factors on decisions.
Applying design factors and communicating
The student work has the following characteristics:
• comprehensive application of design factors to develop and progress a range of feasible ideas
• discriminating and proficient use of manufacturing technologies, materials and efficient project management skills to produce products in an accurate response to design criteria
• succinct and effective use of communication suited to modes and audiences.
Synthesising and evaluating designs
The student work has the following characteristics:
• discerning synthesis of ideas to develop innovative concepts that insightfully solve design problems
• valid and thorough justification of decisions and well-reasoned recommendations
• discerning and thorough evaluation of ideas and products using design criteria.
Note: Colour highlights have been used to indicate the match of the qualities of the student response with the standards descriptors within each dimension.
