Year 3
In Years 3–4 (typically 8–10 years of age), students become more concerned with the social and environmental use of technologies in their local, national and global communities for a range of purposes and users, including for community-based work.
Students use their imagination and creativity to make sense of the designed world as they investigate products used in everyday situations and identify how these
meet needs and wants.
They develop an understanding of characteristics of a range of resources (information, materials and/ or systems).
They gain an awareness of local Australian resources and how these have contributed to technology processes and products, in the past and present. They see the place of technology in people’s work and community lives. Students use the essential processes of Ways of working to develop and demonstrate their Knowledge and understanding. They work technologically, individually and collaboratively to develop creative responses to design situations. They explore the use of technology practice. They suggest and communicate design ideas based on their own experiences and investigations.
They manipulate and process resources and consider what has worked well and what could be improved. They reflect on their learning and consider the uses and impacts of technology in familiar everyday situations. Students use tools and technologies, including information and communication technologies (ICTs). They explore the use of ICTs to inquire, create and communicate within technology contexts.
Students demonstrate evidence of their learning over time in relation to the following assessable elements:
• knowledge and understanding
• investigating and designing
• producing
• evaluating
• reflecting
