and Technology ( Product Design)  \nWe’ve listened to feedback from all parts of the design and technology subject community, including higher education . We’ve used this opportunity of curriculum change to redesign qualifications that reflect the demands of a truly modern and evolving society – qualifications that enable your students to apply themselves and give them the skills to succeed in their chosen pathway.  \nEquipping students with design skills for the future-Students will be able to recognise design needs and develop an understanding of how current global issues, including integrating technology, impacts on today’s world.  \nEncourages creativity and innovation-At A level students will have the confidence to innovate and produce creative design solutions as they develop their own design brief with a client/end user .  \nClear routes through the specification-We’ve listened to your feedback and our specification aims to demystify the new rules around the new qualification requirements to make sure you know precisely what you have to teach.  \nProgression from GCSE and beyond to HE/Careers-We’ve designed the GCSE and A level qualifications together to ensure clear progression of knowledge, understanding and design/making skills so that students will have a coherent experience of moving from the breadth of the GCSE to the specialisation depth of A level and beyond.  \nSupport with new content-To help you plan for first teaching with confidence, we’ll be running training events to support you in delivering this new qualification and the new requirements for the first time. We’ll also give you practical free resources to minimise your lesson planning and allow more productive time in the classroom with your students.  \nSupporting you in planning and implementing this qualification   \nPlanning  \n● Our Getting Started guide gives you an overview of the new A Level qualification to help you to get to grips with the changes to content and assessment and to help you understand what these changes mean for you and your students.  \n● We will give you an editable course planner and scheme of work that you can adapt to suit","cbCaibzMPHFQADn9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibzMPHFQADn9","pdf",854867,76,"English","# Introduction\n## Why choose Pearson Edexcel A Level Design and Technology (Product Design)\n## Supporting you in planning and implementing this qualification\n# Subject content\n## Component 1: Principles of Design and Technology\n## Component 2: Independent Design and Make Project\n# Assessment Objectives\n# Administration and general information\n## Entries\n## Access arrangements, reasonable adjustments, special consideration and malpractice\n## Student recruitment and progression\n# Appendix 1: Mathematical skills requirement\n# Appendix 2: Calculators\n# Appendix 3: Science knowledge and skills requirement","[{\"question\":\"What change does Issue 2 make to portfolio and photographic evidence submission?\",\"answer\":\"Issue 2 amends the portfolio guidance and photographic evidence sections with updated instructions on how to submit portfolios and accompanying evidence.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the Pearson Edexcel Level 3 GCE in Design and Technology (Product Design) assessed?\",\"answer\":\"It consists of one externally examined paper and one non-examined assessment component.\"},{\"question\":\"When must students complete assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Students must complete all assessment in May/June in any single year.\"}]","A Level Design and Technology - Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in Design and Technology (Product Design) Specification - Issue 2 Changes | PDF",1792463440,192]
