3. Create - (ii) Demonstrate excellent technical skill when making the solution
At the end of year 5 you should be able to:
- develop manipulative skills to effectively use a wide range of tools, techniques and equipment
- use a wide range of tools and equipment proficiently to create high-quality solutions
- ensure a safe working environment for themselves and others
To determine the correct level of technical skill which you are operating at, teachers need to consider the complexity of skill demonstrated as well as the level of guidance that the teacher needs to provide in order for you to complete the task.
When determining the complexity of skill demonstrated by you, a number of indicators will be considered.
When determining the complexity of skill demonstrated by you, a number of indicators will be considered.
- Accuracy of the solution: Have all parts been made as detailed in the plan? Have all parts been made accurately?
- Final aesthetic quality of the solution: Has the student given appropriate attention to detail, considering the final overall look and feel of the solution?
- Assembly of the solution: Do all components fit together or combine as detailed in the plan?
- can be given initial guidance and demonstrations by the teacher
- can practise the processes as required
- must work independently when making the solution, if they are to achieve the higher levels
- should demonstrate safe working practices.
