Criterion F: attitudes in technology

Maximum 6

This criterion refers to students’ attitudes when working in technology. It focuses on an overall assessment of two aspects:
1. personal engagement (motivation, independence, general positive attitude)
2. attitudes towards safety, cooperation and respect for others.

By their very nature these qualities are difficult to quantify and assess, and assessment should therefore take into account the context in which the unit of work was undertaken.
