One of the 3 standalone courses that cover 3 design techniques necessary for the LS D&T.

Course synopsis

This in-service course is one of the three Design-and-Make in-service courses to support the teaching and learning of Design & Technology (D&T) at the lower secondary level.  There is no order of progression in the three courses.  The three courses are standalone and they  cover three fundamental design techniques necessary for the implementation of the lower secondary programme, namely, Design-and-Make I (Randomness!); Design-and-Make II (Shape Borrowing!); and Design-and-Make III (SCAMPER!).  The main objective of the three courses is to ground D&T teachers in the practice by going through exercises and practices first as a teacher-designer and second as a D&T pedagogue.  It is recognised that internalisation of ‘design action’ at a personal level is crucial to the understanding and teaching of ‘design and make procedural knowledge’.
