WJEC GCSE DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY UNIT 2: RESISTANT MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY: CONTROLLED ASSESSMENT

Sample of information sent to centres. This information would be sent to centres by September 1st 2010 for assessment that is completed in July 2011.

Controlled Assessment Task

It is a requirement of the specification that candidates complete a 30 hour design, make and evaluate task. Teachers are required to monitor and verify that the time limit is adhered to and that the contributions of individual candidates are recorded accurately and that plagiarism does not take place. Candidates will not gain additional credit by exceeding the time limit. The task can be carried out in the normal classroom/workshop environment. Candidates are allowed supervised access to resources that may include information gathered outside the 30 hours of controlled assessment time. Candidates may gather research/inspirational material prior to or during the assessment period and this can be referred to during the task but this material is not to be included in the material to be assessed. Graphical work which has been prepared in advance by the candidate as part of an ongoing workbook or research, cannot be included as part of the material assessed for the control assessment task. Candidates may collaborate/confer with others in relation to the task but all assessed material must be the candidates' work only. The supervising teacher can give candidates limited guidance during the task in order to clarify what is to be done and to ensure that safe working practices are adhered to. All graphical and written work entered for this controlled assessment must be submitted on the pre-printed pages which are available for download from the WJEC website. The task must not exceed the 14 A3 pages provided. Candidates are free to use ICT applications where they are appropriate. It is the responsibility of the centre to ensure the reliability and authenticity of all work presented for this controlled assessment. Teachers and students will be required to sign a declaration that all work presented is the work of the candidate alone. Failure to authenticate the work may result in grades being delayed or refused.

Further details of the assessment process, including the assessment criteria, can be found in Section 5 of the Specification for Design and Technology.


The Controlled Assessment Task is divided into two sections. Section A is concerned with designing the product. Marks will be awarded for :- Analysis of the Task 5 Marks Writing a Design Specification 5 Marks Generating Ideas 10 Marks Developing and Modelling a solution 25 Marks Communicating the Final Solution 10 Marks Demonstrating Creative Thinking 5 Marks Throughout Section B is concerned with planning, making and evaluating the product. Marks will be awarded for :-

Planning the make 10 Marks Making the Product 90 Marks Evaluation of the Product 10 Marks

Suggesting Improvements 10 Marks When completing the Controlled Assessment Task candidates should :-

• contextualise the chosen brief; • design creatively by generating, developing, planning and communicating

ideas; • make products by working safely with tools, equipment, components,

materials and ingredients; • apply systems and control. CAD/CAM, digital media and new technologies

appropriate to the focus area; • analyse and evaluate processes and products.

Teachers or candidates, in consultation with their teachers, should choose one of the Briefs set out below.

Brief 1: Designing for young children Using an individual child or group of children, design an educational toy or game, that through an imaginative choice will be both entertaining and teach important skills.

Brief 2: Lighting

Advances in lighting technology provide great scope for imaginative and eye catching solutions to a range of lighting problems. Design an innovative solution to an identified need.

Brief 3: Storage Efficient storage of small items provide particular problems and require thoughtful and innovative. solutions. Identifying a particular need design a creative solution.
