Curriculum

The technology learning area has three strands: technological practice, technological knowledge, and nature of technology. These three strands are embedded within each of five technological areas:

• computational thinking for digital technologies

• designing and developing digital outcomes

• designing and developing materials outcomes

• designing and developing processed outcomes

• design and visual communication.

The following diagram illustrates the structure of the learning area.

As the diagram shows, the three strands provide the organising structure for achievement objectives used in three of the technological areas (Designing and developing materials outcomes, Designing and developing processed outcomes, Design and visual communication), and they underpin progress outcomes for the other two areas (Computational thinking for digital technologies, Designing and developing digital outcomes).
