Planning for practice
Planning for practice is the up-front and on-going thinking that enables a fit-for-purpose outcome to be developed. It is an essential part of all technological practice.
Planning for practice should consider:
- the physical, social, and cultural environment of an outcome
- the context the technologist will be working in.
Effective planning for practice enables developing technologists (students) to systematically account for all the factors that influence the successful fulfillment of a brief. It also supports reflection and decision making.
