In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.  

This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
The purpose of the learning is to enable a learner to be able to realise and review a design.

This unit standard contributes to the competence of those learners who want to pursue a career in the Art, Craft and Design sector, and contribute to greater levels of production and quality in this sector.

Learners credited with this unit standard are capable of:
  • Assessing design concepts.
  • Realising the design concept.
  • Communicating the design concept.
  • Reviewing and refining the design concept. 
    		•

    		•

    UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
  • Organising information may include written and/or visual diary, scrapbook of images, annotated sketches, charts, diagrams, and files, including digital.
  • A communication method may be oral, visual and oral, written and visual, and or written.

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 
    Input and comments from other sources about the concept are addressed and/or incorporated to refine the concept. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 
    The initial design concept is analysed and revisited for consistency with the parameters in the brief. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 
    Options for the concept are re-evaluated and refined, based on own analysis and critical discourse with others. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5 
    Options are refined and the approach is selected that best meets the requirements of the brief. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 6

    Critical Cross-field Outcomes (CCFO): 

    UNIT STANDARD CCFO IDENTIFYING 
    Identify and solve problems where responses to problems show that such critical and creative thinking has been used to make responsible decisions when information and ideas are evaluated to develop possible approaches to work. 

    UNIT STANDARD CCFO WORKING 
    Work effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organisation or community when options for the concept based on own analysis and critical discourse with others are re-evaluated and refined. 

    UNIT STANDARD CCFO ORGANISING 
    Organise, manage oneself and one's activities responsibly, and effectively when own analysis of concept is undertaken and ideas and approaches taken are challenged. 

    UNIT STANDARD CCFO COLLECTING 
    Collect, analyse, organise and critically evaluate information when collected information is organised in a manner that assists in the realisation of the concept. 

    UNIT STANDARD CCFO COMMUNICATING 
    Communicate effectively using visual, mathematic and/or language skills in the modes of oral and/or written presentation when those to whom concept for work should be communicated are identified, based on nature and purpose of work. 

    UNIT STANDARD CCFO SCIENCE 
    Use science and technology effectively and critically, showing responsibility towards the environment and health of others when a range of communication methods are assessed and the most appropriate method is selected based on nature and purpose of work. 

    UNIT STANDARD CCFO DEMONSTRATING 
    Demonstrate an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognising that problem-solving contexts do not exist in isolation when relevant input and comments from other sources about the concept are identified and incorporated in refining of concept. 

    UNIT STANDARD ASSESSOR CRITERIA 
    Assessors should keep the following principles in mind when designing and conducting assessments against this unit standard:
  • Focus the assessment activities on gathering evidence in terms of the main outcome expressed in the title to ensure assessment is integrated rather than fragmented. Remember we want to declare the person competent in terms of the title. Where assessment at title level is unmanageable, focus assessment around each specific outcome, or groups of specific outcomes.
  • Make sure evidence is gathered across the entire range, wherever it applies. Assessment activities should be as close to the real performance as possible, and where simulations or role-plays are used, there should be supporting evidence to show the learner is able to perform in the real situation.
  • Do not focus the assessment activities on each assessment criterion. Rather make sure the assessment activities focus on outcomes and are sufficient to enable evidence to be gathered around all the assessment criteria.
  • The assessment criteria provide the specifications against which assessment judgements should be made. In most cases, knowledge can be inferred from the quality of the performances, but in other cases, knowledge and understanding will have to be tested through questioning techniques. Where this is required, there will be assessment criteria to specify the standard required.
  • The task of the assessor is to gather sufficient evidence, of the prescribed type and quality, as specified in this unit standard, that the learner can achieve the outcomes again and again and again. This means assessors will have to judge how many repeat performances are required before they believe the performance is reproducible.
  • All assessments should be conducted in line with the following well documented principles of assessment: appropriateness, fairness, manageability, integration into work or learning, validity, direct, authentic, sufficient, systematic, open and consistent.

    This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
