Knowledge Base
Understanding by Design (Wiggins and McTighe)
Identifying “enduring understandings”Large, inclusive, and robust ideas.Ideas often misunderstoodIdeas central to the disciplineImportant ideas worth knowing
![Page 7: Project Goals Conceptualize and develop curriculum materials for advanced level high school technology education students. Prepare students for post-secondary.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061618/56649da75503460f94a92e2d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Identifying Enduring Understandings
Is the concept something important to know as an adult?
Does it reside at the heart of the discipline?
Does it require uncoverage?
Does it offer potential for engaging students?
Enduring UnderstandingsWiggins & McTighe, 1998
![Page 8: Project Goals Conceptualize and develop curriculum materials for advanced level high school technology education students. Prepare students for post-secondary.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061618/56649da75503460f94a92e2d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Enduring Understanding 1Technological progression is driven by a
number of factors, including individual creativity, product and systems innovation, and human wants and needs.
Enduring Understanding 2
Technological development for the solution of a problem in one context can spin-off for use in a variety of often unrelated applications.
![Page 9: Project Goals Conceptualize and develop curriculum materials for advanced level high school technology education students. Prepare students for post-secondary.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061618/56649da75503460f94a92e2d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Enduring Understanding 3
Enduring Understanding 4
Technological change can be positive and/or negative, and can have intended and/or unforeseen social, cultural, environmental, and existential consequences.
Technology is made up of systems and subsystems that fit into larger technological, economic, and social systems.
![Page 10: Project Goals Conceptualize and develop curriculum materials for advanced level high school technology education students. Prepare students for post-secondary.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061618/56649da75503460f94a92e2d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Enduring Understanding 5
Enduring Understanding 6
There are compelling and controversial issues associated with the acquisition, development, use, and disposal of resources.
Technological design involves tradeoffs among competing constraints and requirements.
![Page 11: Project Goals Conceptualize and develop curriculum materials for advanced level high school technology education students. Prepare students for post-secondary.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061618/56649da75503460f94a92e2d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Enduring Understanding 7
Enduring Understanding 8
Technological design is a systematic process used to initiate and refine ideas, solve problems, and maintain products and systems.
Individuals should know how to evaluate the benefits, limitations, and risks associated with existing and proposed technologies.
![Page 12: Project Goals Conceptualize and develop curriculum materials for advanced level high school technology education students. Prepare students for post-secondary.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061618/56649da75503460f94a92e2d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Technology requires the acquisition of the knowledge needed to use and operate various technological devices and systems.
Enduring Understanding 9

Knowledge BaseIn Backwards Design…
We must clarify the results we seek & the evidence we will use before designing lessons & developing activities
![Page 14: Project Goals Conceptualize and develop curriculum materials for advanced level high school technology education students. Prepare students for post-secondary.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061618/56649da75503460f94a92e2d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Decide on the evidence that will be used to make judgments about whether the “enduring understandings” have been met.
Knowledge Base
How will you know whether the students have achieved?
![Page 15: Project Goals Conceptualize and develop curriculum materials for advanced level high school technology education students. Prepare students for post-secondary.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061618/56649da75503460f94a92e2d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Knowledge BaseWhat assessments will be
used to make judgments about student understandings of the enduring understandings?
Short-term assessments, checks for understanding, academic prompts,
comprehensive & performance assessments.
![Page 16: Project Goals Conceptualize and develop curriculum materials for advanced level high school technology education students. Prepare students for post-secondary.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061618/56649da75503460f94a92e2d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Knowledge Base
After the “enduring understandings” & assessments have been developed…
It is time to develop learning activities.Too often, we start with activities.
![Page 17: Project Goals Conceptualize and develop curriculum materials for advanced level high school technology education students. Prepare students for post-secondary.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061618/56649da75503460f94a92e2d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The ProBase Curriculum is created using a “backwards”
design model
