IB Design Technology (DT) SL Internal Assessment Example

I am aiming to create an age-appropriate incremental redesign of a fidget toy to help teenage girls stop nail-biting. Target audience are 16-19 years old. The fidget should comply with the specific requirements of texture of the hands, nails and mechanism of the habit.SL

IB Grade: 6

Criteria A: Criterion A: Analysis of a Design Opportunity

7/9

Criteria Strands

A.1Problem Description and Design Opportunity

Good

A.2Design Brief Development

Good

A.3Design Specification Development

Good

Criteria Feedback

You identify a clear and relevant design opportunity and support it with a strong mix of research, user evidence, and market analysis.
Your brief is focused and practical, with clear attention to the target user, purpose, safety, portability, and ergonomic needs.
Your requirements are mostly measurable and show that you are thinking about the design in a realistic, evidence-based way.

Some of your claims are broader than the evidence fully supports, so a few points need tighter wording and more precise sourcing.
A few specifications remain slightly vague, which makes them harder to test or use later when comparing concepts.
Some requirements would be stronger if essential needs and desirable features were separated more clearly.

Criteria B: Criterion B: Conceptual Design

8/9

Criteria Strands

B.1Development of Ideas

Excellent

B.2Concept Modeling

Good

B.3Selection and Justification

Good

Criteria Feedback

You develop a wide range of distinct and feasible concepts rather than settling too early on one idea.
Your concept models and user feedback are used productively to refine the direction of the design.
You justify the chosen solution with a clear design lineage that shows how testing and feedback shaped the final outcome.

Several concept comparisons are descriptive rather than fully analytical, so the relative strengths of the final options are not always made completely explicit.
Some feedback is discussed well but not always translated into a precise design decision.
A more systematic comparison of all final ideas against the full set of priorities would make the selection more convincing.
