Today, we’ll explore Criterion A: Inquiring and Analysing. Can anyone tell me why it’s crucial to explain the need for a solution?
I think it's important to know if we're solving the right problem.
Exactly! By justifying a solution, you ensure that you’re targeting the right issues. Now, what do we mean by prioritizing research?
Does that mean focusing on the most important information first?
Yes! Prioritizing helps us develop a clear context for our designs. Remember the acronym RIPS: Research, Identify, Prioritize, Solve. It can help you remember the process!
Got it! We need to research similar products too, right?
Absolutely! Analyzing existing products inspires your ideas. By the end of today, you should draft a detailed design brief that includes all this information. Let’s summarize: understanding the need for a solution, prioritizing research, and analyzing existing products.
Now let’s dive into Criterion B: Developing Ideas. What do you think are essential aspects of creating viable design ideas?
We should think about what the research says and develop specifications.
Great point! Developing specifications is key. How could we present our ideas effectively?
Technical drawings or prototypes might help!
Absolutely! Use CAD tools or 3D models to present your ideas clearly. Let's remember the mnemonic PEPS: Present, Explore, Propose Solutions. Can anyone think of a way to create accurate planning materials?
We could outline the developing process step-by-step.
Precisely! Summarizing today, we covered the importance of specifications, creative ideas, and effective presentation.
Moving on to Criterion C: Creating the Solution. What do you think is crucial when constructing a plan?
We need to know what materials we'll use.
Yes! A logical plan is essential for a successful product. Remember the acronym REMS: Resources, Estimate, Make, and modify. Why is craftsmanship important?
Because it affects how well our product works!
By testing and making changes during the process?
Spot on! Ensuring that your solution meets specifications is vital. Today, we learned about crafting a logical plan, the importance of craftsmanship, and ensuring functionality.
Lastly, let’s discuss Criterion D: Evaluating. Why is it important to design tests for our solutions?
To see how well they work against what we designed!
Correct! Testing helps assess the success of your solution. What should we consider when evaluating solutions?
We need to think about possible improvements.
Yes! It’s also vital to reflect on your solution's impact. Remember the mnemonic PRAISE: Performance, Review, Assess, Improve, Social impact, Evaluate. Can anyone give examples of the impacts to consider?
Things like sustainability and user experience!
Exactly! Today’s discussion covered testing, improvement suggestions, and the social impacts of our designs.
The first criterion focused on understanding and evaluating the need for a solution through research.
Students must generate creative and feasible design ideas supported by their research.
The emphasis is on technical skills and adherence to logical planning in producing the solution.
This final criterion is about assessing the effectiveness of the solution and considering improvements.
Example 1: A student designs a water filtration system. They research existing filtration devices, outline a design brief specifying material needs, and create prototypes to test performance.
Example 2: When evaluating their design, students reflect on the environmental effects of their filtration system, considering sustainability and accessibility.
To cry A for inquiry, B for build, C to create, and D to evaluate what you’ve filled.
Once upon a time, a designer named Crea invented machines by first inquiring what people needed, building their ideas, creating prototypes, and evaluating for better designs!

The standards used to evaluate students' designs in MYP.
A detailed outline that explains the purpose and requirements of a design solution.
Specific requirements that the final product must meet.
Detailed illustrations that convey the dimensions and layout of an idea.
The skill and quality applied in creating a product.
A product that operates as intended and meets design specifications.
Factors regarding the moral implications of a solution on society and environment.
This section outlines the assessment criteria for MYP Year 5 Design in the context of Technology & Innovation.
In MYP Year 5 Design, students are evaluated based on four key assessment criteria: Inquiring and Analysing, Developing Ideas, Creating the Solution, and Evaluating. Each criterion sets expectations for students on how to thoroughly engage with the design cycle and develop solutions that are innovative and grounded in practical application.
In MYP Year 5 Design, students engage in a structured evaluation process centered around four primary assessment criteria that guide their learning and project development. These criteria are essential as they align with the overarching theme of Technology & Innovation, emphasizing students' ability to navigate complex design challenges through creative problem-solving.
Criterion A: Inquiring and Analysing
Criterion B: Developing Ideas
Criterion C: Creating the Solution
Criterion D: Evaluating
By mastering these assessment criteria, students are not only able to produce high-quality designs but also develop essential soft skills necessary for future endeavors in design and innovation fields.
