In this task, you will develop a Materials and Processing Technology outcome that demonstrates manaakitanga for a person, whānau, or community. To determine the outcome’s fitness for purpose you will evaluate it against a brief with specifications.

Manaakitanga means showing respect and care. It is an act of kindness that enhances relationships for all.

You will create a fit-for-purpose outcome using a brief with specifications.

  • A brief is a statement that explains who, what, where, when, why, and how manaakitanga will be demonstrated in the outcome.
  • Specifications are short precise statements. You will evaluate the outcome against these statements by answering with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and explaining your answer. Specifications will include the physical and functional requirements of the outcome.

You will use technological practice to develop and create the outcome. You will apply stakeholder feedback from more than one person at more than one stage of development.

  • This stakeholder feedback will help you explain the decisions you made to improve the outcome.
  • This stakeholder feedback will help you explain the decisions you made to refine your outcome to improve its fitness for purpose.

When you have finished creating your outcome you will:

  • analyse how stakeholder feedback was used in the development of the outcome
  • evaluate the outcome against the brief and each specification in the actual or modelled intended environment
  • use these evaluations to determine the outcome’s fitness for purpose.

You will need to:

  • use a brief with specifications
  • apply stakeholder feedback to refine your outcome
  • develop and create your outcome
  • present the outcome’s main features using annotated images or a video that you will then include in your portfolio
  • take your outcome to the place it will be used, to see how it works. If you can’t do that, model the intended environment as best you can.
  • evaluate how stakeholder feedback was used to develop the outcome
  • evaluate the outcome against your brief with specifications to determine whether it is fit for purpose or partially fit for purpose.

Comment on the brief and each specification by answering the following questions and giving reasons for your answer:

  1. Has it been fully met? Explain your answer.
  2. Has it been partially met? Explain your answer.
  3. Has it not been met at all? Explain your answer.

What resources can I use?

  • You will be provided with a variety of materials, tools, and equipment by your teacher.
  • You may wish to bring resources from home to support your learning, but this is not a necessity.

How to present your learning

You should present your work with a selection of evidence from your portfolio that covers the requirements of the Achievement Standard. Choose one of the following options:

  • a digital slide presentation (no more than 20 slides at size 12 font or bigger)
  • a collection of scanned paper evidence (no more than 10 A3 sides of paper)
  • a video or recorded oral presentation (3-4 minutes long)
  • a combination of the above, totalling no more than the equivalent of 750-800 words.

Your presentation must include at least one image of the outcome you create. (Your teacher will sight the outcome and return it as soon as possible, and an image of it may be sent to NZQA.)

If you would like to present your work in a way different to the above options, discuss this with your teacher.

Getting started

Your teacher will help you to identify a need or opportunity to show manaakitanga to a person, whānau, or community.

Here are some questions to think about before you get started:

  • Can you identify a creative solution for a person, whānau, or community by demonstrating manaakitanga?
  • Manaakitanga is about members of a community showing care for each other. How could you show care for your community?
  • How could you show manaakitanga towards your own or another whānau?
  • How could you show manaakitanga towards another person?
