Week 1

Lesson 1 (PRE LESSON),

Compare the annual profit margins of both companies in the given case studies, as well as their
annual production number. Create a single line graph to portray both results using
http://www.rapidtables.com/tools/line-graph.htm

Contrast the use of alternative resources between the given case studies.

Using http://mindmapfree.com/ , students are to develop a brainstorm which identifies the various
career opportunities in the Automotive industry one could follow post school/study

Lesson 2, Structural considerations, organization, management (H1.1)

a) Compare both the organization structure, and management approach of the given case
studies. Present your response in a mind map using http://mindmapfree.com/

Lesson 3, Marketing and advertising, production and efficiency (H1.1)

NOTE use http://shutterb.org/ to process the answers below and upload to the blog as PDF.

24
a) Using the given case studies judge who has a more effective marketing advertising
approach and examine how this influences the companys success. NOTE apply the PEEL
scaffold to your response.
b) Hypothesis as to which of the production techniques, between the given case studies, is

Justification

This justification intends to link recent-research to decisions made during the design of all the
attached teacher-documentation. The use of Lesson Sequencing (Understanding By Design (UBD)),
Blooms taxonomy, HSC language, student directed-learning as well as the incorporation of
Information and Computing Technology (ICT) have all been referenced, whilst analysing the
usefulness of such choices.

Being the HSC course, it was critical to ensure that the produced unit-outline, online comparative-
study, assessment-task and lesson-activities, all enabled deepened understanding of course-content
amongst students, as per syllabus-outcomes. According to the NSW Department of Education
(2017), such-can be successfully achieved through the sequencing of lessons via applying the
curriculum-planning framework of backwards-design, also known as UBD. Furthermore as it is year-
twelve, the pinnacle of school-study, the intention prior to the start of the entire assessment, was to
ensure student learning-experiences throughout the year were directed towards equipping pupils
with the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve success in the HSC. Thus, further guidance was
necessary in determining how to teach as opposed to what to teach. Such is rationale as to why
implementing UBD was in-fact the correct decision as supported by the research of Vanderbilt
University (2017) who explains how UBD provides teachers purposeful planning towards a desired
end-result.

Establishing learning goals is the initial-phase of the UBD approach. Here the teacher must prioritise
and focus on a particular topic-areas over others (Vanderbilt University, 2017). An example of such,
which links this research to the developed teacher documentation, can be noted whereby the
creation of the relational-tables identified how specific parts of the syllabus were reoccurring in
HSC past-paper questions, and thus determined what syllabus outcomes were to be specifically
focused-on over the scope of the unit (impacts on society and the environment). This meant that the
online-comparative study and student assignment-task, both had to contain the largest number of
questions based on the impacts on society and the environment topic-area, thus highlighting
teacher prioritisation in the pre-planning phase.

The second-phase of UBD consists of the teacher determining if students are in-fact mastering
acquired knowledge. Here the teacher must collect evidence of students making progress towards
achieving their learning-goals (Vanderbilt University, 2017). Once again, this research directly
influenced the development of the online-comparative study and student assignment-task.
Measures where needed by the teacher to ensure that upon completion evidence could be attained
necessary for teacher professional-development. Such justifies why students are to develop daily
blog-posts, containing their answers to questions found on the online-competitive study, as well as
present an e-portfolio upon the completion of their assignment-task. Furthermore, the
implementation of UBD was again the correct decision, as it easily allows teachers to measure
progression via initially placing student-learning goals at the core of all activities, thus keeping
learning goals relevant, realistic and transparent.

The designing of instructional-strategies and lesson-activities correspond to the third-phase of UBD


(Vanderbilt University, 2017). This stage saw a focus on the how of teaching in the developed
documentation. An example of such can be seen in the unit-outline which has been split in-halves,
with the first-half focusing on the online comparative-study, providing students with the skills and
knowledge necessary (a form of scaffolding) to complete their assignment task, which in-turn forms
the second-half of the unit and thus the how of teaching. This approach would prove most effective
and twice-iterate content presented to students further reinsuring increased understanding.

65
In-order to ensure the created teacher documentation effectively improved learning, Blooms
taxonomy, a framework which organises the cognitive-process of how students interact with
knowledge, had to be applied at the higher-levels of Analyse and Evaluate (Hall, 2015). Such
influenced the design-process of the questions found in both the online comparative-study and
student assignment-task. Thus, these questions had to apply key-terms such as discuss, examine,
justify, compare as well investigate (amongst many others), successfully enabling students to
achieve higher-order thinking. It must emphasised such was the correct decision, as these same
words and cognition process, are also tailored into the design of HSC questions. Furthermore, such is
evidence as to how developed teacher documentation, intends to adequately prepare students for
the HSC.

A students ability to answer extended-response questions is the most critical skill a teacher must
develop in-order for success in the HSC. Students must be able to write powerful, structured
arguments, which clearly align to the requirements of the question (MATRIX Education, 2012). This
research directly influenced the design-of, and is rationale to, activities housed-in the post-lessons,
which focus on HSC revision. The definition of NESA key-terms, aimed at familiarising students with
the vocabulary used in the HSC, the use of ALARM to determine elements necessary in student-
answers, as well as PEEL to organise the actual structure of responses, all intend to extend the
writing aptitudes of students, and thus align with the findings of MATRIX Education (2012).

NSW Educational Standards Authority (2017) report as to how modern-society is heavily technology-
orientated, and therefore the use of ICT must be present in lesson-activities in-order to develop
competent and ethical ICT users (students). ICT can positively affect the learning-experiences of
students via providing them with a variety of real-life stimulus, thus increasing student-engagement.
This is why the online comparative-study contains case-studies based on GM and Koenigsegg, both
industry-based companies which students can directly relate-to. Furthermore, this research justifies
the use of digital-tools for information-presentation embedded into the online comparative-study,
which requires students to utilise web-based applications to generate graphs and mind-maps. Such
activities prove effective as they enhance the ICT competencies of students (as per research), as well
as empower pupil learning through the creation of highly detailed and industry-like content.

The decision to operate the online comparative-study so that it employed student-directed learning
was supported by the research of (BSSC, 2015). BSSC (2015) articulates how the provision of
frameworks that provide guidance for students to control their own learning via online curriculum-
material, enables learners to take responsibility of their own-education. The implications of such was
used to design the overall-layout of the online comparative-study, whereby content was organised
lesson-by-lesson, week-by-week. Furthermore, the case-studies were segmented based on individual
lesson genres. This user-centred interface design ensured students could easily navigate through
information with minimal intervention by the teacher, thus figurative of students directing their own
learning and showing the maturity of a HSC student.

From the above it can be concluded that choices made during the development of teacher
documentation have been successfully based upon research relevant to Lesson Sequencing (UBD),
Blooms taxonomy, HSC vocabulary, Student-directed learning and use of ICT.
