 \nWe’ve listened to feedback from all parts of the design and technology subject community, including teachers, subject associations, professional bodies and higher education . We’ve used this opportunity of curriculum change to redesign a qualification that is engaging and inspiring, and that reflects the demands of a truly modern and evolving society – a qualification that enables your students to apply themselves and develop the practical skills needed to succeed in their chosen pathway.  \nBuilding innovative design skills  \nClear routes through the specification – we’ve listened to your feedback and developed anew specification that provides clear routes for specialism in the material areas your students enjoy, and where you already have the resources and equipment in place.  \nBreadth and depth in our exam papers – our exam paper will assess the breadth of design and technology knowledge in the Core section, and assess the depth of knowledge in the chosen material category for the Specialist section to enable students to fully  \ndemonstrate their own particular strengths or specialism.  \nCreative design and making at the heart – the contextual challenges provided in our qualification, for example extending human capacity, will give students the freedom to take design risks and to innovate in a situation where it is safe to test and refine ideas.  \nProgression to AS and A Level – we’ve designed the GCSE and AS/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 of AS and A Level.  \nSupport with the new content – to help you plan for first teaching with confidence, we’ll be running a range of training events to support you with the new qualification and the new requirements . 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 o","cbCaivsO9Gn8soVM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivsO9Gn8soVM","pdf",882967,96,"English","# Introduction\n## Why choose the Edexcel GCSE in Design and Technology?\n## Supporting you in planning and implementing this qualification\n## Content and assessment overview\n## Component 1\n## Component 2\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\n## Appendix 2: Calculators\n## Appendix 3: Scientific skills, knowledge and understanding\n## Appendix 4: Links to other relevant subjects\n## Appendix 5: Command word taxonomy\n## Appendix 6: The context for the development of this qualification\n## Appendix 7: Transferable skills\n## Appendix 8: Codes","[{\"question\":\"What does “Issue 4 changes” refer to in this specification?\",\"answer\":\"It refers to the specific updates made between the previous issue and the current Issue 4 version, including revised guidance on selecting designers for study.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the GCSE (9–1) in Design and Technology (1DT0) assessed?\",\"answer\":\"The qualification includes one externally-examined paper and one non-examined assessment component, with all assessment completed in May/June within a single year.\"},{\"question\":\"What support does Pearson Edexcel provide for planning and implementing the qualification?\",\"answer\":\"Support includes a Getting Started guide, editable course planners and schemes of work, mapping documents, teaching and learning guidance, and additional assessment materials such as marked exemplars with examiner commentaries.\"}]","GCSE (9-1) Design and Technology - Specification - Issue 4 changes | PDF",1792463428,242]
