Level 1 Textile Technology
Option Description
Materials and Processing Technology is a hands-on, creative subject that encourages ākonga to explore the three strands of the technology curriculum through the design, development, and creation of fit-for-purpose outcomes. The practice of technology is grounded in intervention by design and ākonga will have multiple opportunities to demonstrate this.
Ākonga who study Materials and Processing Technology will develop knowledge about materials, techniques, and processes which are intrinsic to their application and use. They will learn to plan projects and develop specifications through design concepts and the use of briefs. They will create outcomes that address a need or opportunity.
As they study, ākonga will explore the importance of tikanga Māori and traditional Pacific practices to understand how technology outcomes impact on people. They will learn to appreciate this through consideration of mātāpono Māori, tukanga, manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, rangatiratanga, whanaungatanga, kotahitanga, wairuatanga, and auahatanga.
