Today, we're going to explore the first assessment criterion - Inquiring and Analysing. Can anyone tell me what it means to inquire into a problem?
I think it means to look into why a problem exists and what we can do about it.
Exactly! We must explain and justify the need for a solution. It’s not just about having an idea; we need to understand the context clearly. Can anyone list some key elements we should prioritize in our research?
We should find primary research and also look at existing products, right?
Yes! Research is crucial. Remember, we need to analyse similar products to inspire our designs. So after our research, what do we create?
A design brief that outlines everything we learned!
Right! And we do this to create a detailed plan for our solutions.
Let's move on to the second criterion: Developing Ideas. What does it involve?
Creating ideas that solve the problem!
Yes! We need to develop design specifications based on our research analysis. How else can we present our ideas effectively?
We can use drawings and models!
Correct! Also, we should wireframe our final design using CAD tools. Why do you think these presentations are important?
It shows our thought process and helps others understand our ideas.
Exactly! If we articulate our ideas well, it can lead to better feedback and development.
Next, we have Creating the Solution. Why is having a logical plan important here?
It helps us stay organized and make sure we have everything we need!
Right again! We must also demonstrate our technical skills. Can anyone give me an example of a technical skill we might need?
Using tools like saws or 3D printers.
Exactly! After constructing, we also need to make modifications as necessary. What might prompt a modification?
If something doesn't work as planned!
Great thinking! Flexibility is key in the creation process.
Finally, we have Evaluating. What do we do in this stage?
We test our solution against the design specifications!
Yes! And how do we determine the success of our solution?
We create tests based on the specifications we set!
Correct! Also, we should reflect on how the product impacts the audience or environment. What are some factors we should consider?
Ethical implications or how sustainable the solution is.
Perfect! Evaluating is not just about if it works, but how it works for the users. Well done today, everyone!
Seeking to understand a problem's context and necessity for solutions.
Analyzing existing products and prioritizing data to inform design.
Creating models to refine and test design ideas.
Assessing the effectiveness and impact of design solutions.
Inquire, analyze, ideas will rise, create and evaluate, watch the solutions surprise!
Imagine a young inventor named Alex who faces a problem. Alex researches, sketches ideas, builds a model, and tests it. At each step, Alex learns something new to improve the design.
I.D.E.A. - Inquire, Develop, Evaluate, Analyze. Remembering the steps of design assessment!
D.I.Y. - Design, Innovate, Yield. Think of creating your solution!

This section outlines the assessment criteria for MYP Year 5 Design, emphasizing the importance of the design cycle and innovative problem-solving.
In MYP Year 5 Design, students are assessed through four criteria: Inquiring and Analysing, Developing Ideas, Creating the Solution, and Evaluating. These criteria guide the design process and promote innovative thinking and technological fluency in addressing real-world problems.
In the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP), Design is an essential subject where students cultivate problem-solving skills through creative thinking and research. In Year 5, the assessment is based on four main criteria: Criterion A focuses on Inquiring and Analysing, where students identify the need for solutions, conduct research, and develop design briefs. Criterion B involves Developing Ideas by producing creative solutions guided by research. Criterion C emphasizes the importance of Creating the Solution, requiring technical skills to construct a functional product along a logical plan. Finally, Criterion D focuses on Evaluating, where students assess their solutions against design specifications and reflect on possible improvements. Mastering these criteria enhances students' ability to innovate using technology, preparing them for future careers in various fields.
