This PowerPoint based guide aims at getting your students to employ techniques to help improve their grades in the Design and Technology GCSE.
It takes a thorough look at the subject content and technical principles of the GCSE, including key facts you need to know about the D&T GCSE exam, including assessment objective weightings, the written exams and how each exam board covers the Core, Specialist Technical and Designing and Making principles and how each has a different approach to the style of questions and focus.
It looks at how to:
- Develop a five-year curriculum using distributed practice strategies
- Develop product analysis skills
- Identify how the exam board thinks
- Practice makes perfect
- Develop higher order thinking skills
- Develop notetaking and memory prompts
- Link the exam to the Non-Exam Assessment
- Develop self-belief
