New Advanced Higher Subject Implementation Events
Design and Manufacture:
Advanced Higher Course Assessment
Course Assessment at Advanced Higher
Course Assessment at AH assesses Added Value
Course at AH is graded A – D, as at present
Controlled Assessment of setting, conducting and marking
For AH Graphic Communication there are 2 Components:
– a Project (60%)
– a Question paper (40%)
No dual running at Advanced Higher in session 2015-16
AH Design and Manufacture – Question Paper
• 80 marks (40% of award)• 2 hours• sampling across all course content• application of knowledge and understanding• drawing from Product Evolution, Product
Evaluation and Product Development contexts
AH Design and Manufacture – Question Paper
Two sections• section 1: 30 marks – focus on Product
Evolution• section 2: 50 marks – integrated questions
covering the other unit contexts
Workshop 2: question paper
Using the materials provided, in small groups of 2-3, discuss: Identify subject-specific topics for discussion
Using the materials provided, in small groups, discuss:
how questions relate to, and integrate aspects of the mandatory content
for the Course (CAS)
how question approaches progress from Higher
the depth of answers required as indicated in Marking Instructions
consider Section 1, Question 1a – discuss the model responses and
place them in the appropriate ranges within the Marking Instructions
existing materials which can still be used to support learning and teaching
– any new materials required
AH Design and Manufacture - Project
What it does:• Assesses the practical application of skills and knowledge from
across the Course• 120 marks (60% of award)Documents needed:• GAI (general assessment information)• Project Assessment Task, with candidate guideThe project will be:• Carried out under supervised conditions• Internally marked (subject to verification)

AH Design and Manufacture - Project
GAI (general assessment information)• overview• suggested design contexts• assessment conditions• giving support and guidance• evidence to be gathered• marking instructions
AH Design and Manufacture - Project
Project Assessment Task• overview• marking instructions (same as GAI)• assessment record• Appendix 1: instructions and guidance for
candidates
AH Design and Manufacture - Project
Project Assessment Task: Appendix 1• guidance on recording progress• stage-by-stage advice and guidance• assessment requirements for each aspect
• additional guidance on research ethics• list of possible project contexts
AH Design and Manufacture - Project
Initial stages (PAT pp.30-42)• overview of project• guidance on recording progress• guidance on choosing a suitable problem• project proposal and outline plan• analysis of a graphic brief and initial research • producing a graphic specification• project planning
AH Design and Manufacture Choosing a suitable project
AH Design and Manufacture Project- getting started
Producing a project proposal and an outline of how time might be allocated
Getting assessor approval
This establishes that the candidate’s proposal for their project is appropriate and feasible
AH Design and Manufacture ProjectWorkshop activities – reference documents
Workshop 3a: project initial stages
Using the materials provided, in small groups of 2-3, discuss: Identify subject-specific topics for discussion
Using the Project Assessment Task and the GAI provided, in small groups, discuss:
the list of possible contexts – can you provide any others?
the ‘project proposal’ stage (Project Assessment Task doc.)
the requirements of evidence for:
– ‘Defining a design opportunity – analysis and research’
– ‘Project planning’
how much advice and guidance is acceptable (GAI p5)
what kind of reflective comments could be recorded
Workshop 3b: Generating and developing ideas towards a design proposal
• ‘Generating and exploring ideas’• ‘Refining ideas towards a design proposal’
Using the materials provided, in small groups of 2-3, discuss: Identify subject-specific topics for discussion
Using the materials provided, in small groups, discuss:
what evidence is required for each element – what would this look like?
how much advice and guidance is acceptable (GAI p5)
the marks awarded for these different elements
what kind of reflective comments could be recorded
Workshop 3c:
• ‘Applying graphic techniques (to inform and communicate design decisions)’• ‘Applying modelling techniques (to inform and communicate design decisions)’• ‘Analysing and evaluating (to inform design decisions)’
Using the materials provided, in small groups, discuss:
what evidence is required for each element – what would this look like?
how much advice and guidance is acceptable (GAI p5)
the marks awarded for these different elements
what kind of reflective comments could be recorded
Workshop 3d:
• Application of knowledge and understanding of materials and manufacturing processes• Application of knowledge and understanding of design issues
Using the materials provided, in small groups of 2-3, discuss: Identify subject-specific topics for discussion
Using the materials provided, in small groups, discuss:
what evidence is required for each element – what would this look like?
how much advice and guidance is acceptable (GAI p5)
