MYP Design Cycle

Criterion D ~ Evaluating

Designers employ different testing methods and the success of the solution is judged and any improvements to make the solution are identified. From here, the different stages can be repeated to further develop or advance the solution.

Criterion D ~ Assessment

MYP Design Criterion D Check List

i. designs detailed and relevant testing methods, which generate data, to measure the success of the solution

Create a test, or a series of tests, and explain the test(s) in great detail
Share your actual test (survey, interview questions, measuring instruments and measuring techniques)
Explain how, when, why and who will test each and every Design Specification
The tests must evaluate the solution against the requirements of the design specification
Create an effective and authentic test(s) to measure every aspect of the design specification and present the test
Your test(s) should generate qualitative and quantitative data
Your test(s) should involve the target audience/client, as well as peers, experts and teachers

ii. critically evaluates the success of the solution against the design specification based on authentic product testing

Collect, Collate and Present the results of your test(s) - the raw data
Present both qualitative and quantitative data
Analyse the raw data and draw conclusions about the success of your product/solution
Evaluate the success of the solution/product against the requirements of each design specification
Explain the accuracy of the data gathered through your testing
Identify strengths and weaknesses of the solution/product based on the analysis of data collected through objective and subjective testing

iii. explains how the solution could be improved

Identify opportunities for further development
Explain, in detail, how the identified weaknesses and limitations of the solution could be improved
Create annotated sketches, photographs, screenshots &/or diagrams to communicate how the solution could be improved
Consider if you had more time, more skills, more finances, better resources, expert help, then what improvement should be made to improve your product/solution

iv. explain the impact of the solution on the client/target audience

A section that explains how your product has (or may have) an impact on society (&/or the client/target audience.
To identify or predict the impact that a solution will have on a client/ target audience --
Consider the original problem - to what extend was this solved and explain how has this solution impacted the client/target audience
Consider the design brief and explain how your product/solution address the design brief and how this has impacted the client/target audience
Explain how your solution improved the client’s or target audience’s situation
Explain how your solution had an effect on users, peers and other people involved
