Liston College
Liston level 1 Material Processing Technology
Course 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.
Ākonga will cultivate life-long practical skills and learn to incorporate collaboration into their technological practice. They will also develop an understanding of sustainable practices through research and application.
Ākonga will also learn about health and safety, which is integral to the practice of this subject. And finally, ākonga will learn to use their knowledge, skills, and understanding to determine and evaluate the fitness for purpose of their outcomes.
Materials and Processing Technology allows ākonga to develop ways of thinking through experience alongside soft skills that can lead to a wide range of pathways. It allows ākonga the freedom to bring their entire, authentic selves to the outcomes they develop. They will explore their creativity, follow their passions, and flourish as technological designers, creators, and innovators, as they take these skills with them into their future.
