Technological Education in Scotland BEYOND 2012 LEE DUNN

Presentation Objectives The Vision Build on our success Curriculum for Excellence The next few years – what will it look like? Gut instinct versus an evidence based approach An exciting time to teach Technological Education

The Vision – what could we achieve? Technology will continue to impact on our lives: The way we live The way we work How we relax and have fun How we learn How we tackle global challenges e.g. Economic, environmental, security

The Past – building upon our success Technological Education is: Adaptable Flexible Progressive Challenging Is there a need to focus on literacy, numeracy and health and well-being? How can we develop skills for learning, life and work?

Technological Education Course Prospectus Beyond 2012

Curriculum for Excellence Technological Education Course Prospectus 2012/13 Broad General Education (Experiences and Outcomes) National 2 and 3 National 4 and 5 New Higher Grade New Advanced Higher Grade Graphic Communication Design & Manufacture Engineering Science Practical Craft Skills Product Design Practical Woodworking Practical Electronics Practical Metalworking Design and Technology What impact will this have on learning and teaching / course evolution?

Gut instinct vs an evidence based approach Small scale study: Online survey 43 responses Illustrate the landscape Identify areas for further investigation Support from the SQA!

In School – what are our priorities? Continue to review SQA Course specifications for National 2, 3, 4 and 5 and for the new Higher and Advanced Higher Grade Courses Develop appropriate courses for all young people... Building upon success! Support and challenge the school community by articulating Technological Education across the Broad General Education and into the Senior Phase Curriculum – including the experiences and outcomes from Health and Well-being, Literacy and Numeracy Build capacity so that children and young people can engage in their own learning and assessment Embed a culture of excellence and a sense of achievement – skills for learning, life and work

The Future – driven by the teaching profession Teaching is a reflective profession: All levels must engage with The Scottish Government, Education Scotland and the Scottish Qualifications Authority [Quality Assurance Panels] The profession must support itself – continuing professional development is essential! Establish and develop peer networks and share resources – creativity and effective practice Develop exemplars and methods of assessment across all courses - assignments – case studies – performance – project – portfolio – tests – practical activity [SQA Assessment Reviews are now available!] Identify and clarify arising issues e.g. Differentiating N4 and N5

Priorities… and opportunities! Commission on School Reform - Interim Report from Reform Scotland and the Centre for Scottish Public Policy An exciting time to teach Technological Education! “Scotland cannot hope to compete in manufacturing and run of the mill services offered in other countries”.
