Textiles and Design
Stage 6 is designed to enable students to understand and appreciate
the nature and significance of textiles and to develop confidence
and competence in the selection, design, manufacture and application
of textile items.
Objectives
Students will develop:
1.
knowledge and
understanding of the functional and aesthetic requirements of
textiles for a range of applications
2. practical
skills in design and manipulation of textiles through the use of
appropriate technologies
3. the
ability to apply knowledge and understanding of the properties and
performance of textiles to the development and manufacture of
textile items
4. skills
in experimentation, critical analysis and the discriminatory
selection of textiles for specific end-uses
6. an
appreciation of the significance of textiles in society.
Key Competencies
Textiles and Design provides a context within which to develop
general competencies considered essential for the acquisition of
effective, higher-order thinking skills necessary for further
education, work and everyday life.
Key
competencies are embedded in the Textiles and Design Stage 6
Syllabus to enhance student learning. The key competencies of
collecting, analysing
and organising information and
communicating ideas
and information, reflect processes of
design research and idea development and are explicit in the
objectives and outcomes of the syllabus. The other key competencies
are developed through the methodologies of the syllabus and through
classroom pedagogy. Students work as individuals and as members of
groups to conduct experiments and investigations, and through this,
the key competencies,
planning and
organising activities and
working with others
and in teams, are developed. When students
develop, modify and construct items from patterns, they are
developing the key competency
using mathematical
ideas and techniques. During
investigations, students will need to use appropriate technologies
and so develop the key competency of
using technology.
Finally, experimentation with a range of materials, processes and
techniques, contributes towards the students’ development of the key
competency
solving
problems.
