Not applicable

Evidence Required

Underpinning skills and knowledge

Assessment must include evidence of the following knowledge and skills

general knowledge of sources of information on design history and theory relevant to own practice

information organisation practices and their application

general knowledge about the evolution of design

current trends in design

copyright moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation and their impact on design practice

literacy skills sufficient to interpret and communicate historical and theoretical information in a design context

Linkages to other units

This unit underpins a range of other design units and combined assessment andor training with those units would be appropriate for example

CUVDSPA Source and apply design industry knowledge

CUVDSP01A - Source and apply design industry knowledge.

Critical aspects of evidence

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit

general knowledge of the history and theory of design and how this may be applied in design practice

application of research and analytical skills to inform design practice

Method and context of assessment

The assessment context must provide for

project or work activities that allow the candidate to research and apply information on the history and theory of design to specific contexts and work activities

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge and might include

questioning and discussing

review of a presentation made by the candidate

evaluation of how historytheory have been integrated into a design project undertaken by the candidate

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands eg literacy and the needs of particular groups eg people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English remote communities and those which interrupted schooling
