Criterion F: attitudes in technology

This criterion refers to students’ attitudes when working in technology. It focuses on an overall assessment of two aspects:
• Personal engagement (motivation, independence, general positive attitude)
• 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.

Fill in the form for a minimm of three times
- Self asessment -you will be the assesseor and the assesed
-Peer Assessment- you will be the assesssor and your classmate will be the assesed
-Peer Assessment-you will be the assesossor and another classmate (different from previous) will be your assessed.
You can only self assess your self ONCE. You can peer assess you two classmates ONCE. You can peer-assess more than two classmates.
