2021 AQA Product design NEA Brief & Spec

2021 AQA Product design NEA Brief & Specification & Project management for Section A

Worried about what to teach the Year 13 DT GCSE students in September 2020? This is the perfect resource to get them carrying on and enthused with a high quality power point, with relevant visuals and animations, as well as questions, techniques and directed tasks to get them finishing off Section A and really having a much better idea of how to carry on!

I thoroughly researched this, coming up with a massive bank of relevant subject specific vocabulary/questions/processes/techniques for helping students to get top marks in this section.

Learning outcomes:
In this A-level coursework task, Students will gain an understanding of:

• How to plan, structure and complete a design brief that is relevant to their context, user and portfolio, guided by the mark scheme
• How to structure their Specification and the importance of basing this on prior research, to get the highest possible mark
• Highly detailed and searching questions to get students started on deep lines of inquiry in their specification – these questions are also designed to get them reflecting and improving on research that they have already undertaken. This could include: additional case studies, planning, life cycle and safety analysis.
• The importance of QA and QC and understanding how these are important in the NEA and the wider industry.
• A detailed discussion of 3 relevant Quality control processes that students really need to think about.
• Which Project management strategy out of four is best to use to go forward?

Potential learning outcomes:

• Next 3 to 4 slides/pages of NEA / Length – 1-2 lessons (including student activity)
• Improvement and addition of information to the research section
• This is the second part of two units (so far) dealing with section A that can be recorded on power point or paper, Please look to the first resource below…
