Abstract

Textiles taught as part of the design and technology curriculum focuses on the use of fibres and fabrics, sometimes with other materials, to solve a specific problem for an identified end use. Chapter 6 Preparing to Teach Textiles looks at how a knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, designing and the production of functional items contribute to a curriculum area offering opportunities for creativity, innovation and solutions to real problems. This chapter looks at teaching textiles within the design and technology curriculum at lower secondary and examination level exploring the knowledge and skills required to teach the subject. It discusses approaches to design and making as well as providing examples of the technical knowledge required to teach the subject alongside teaching ideas and approaches.
