Liaison audit/questionnaire for national curriculum in design and technology between primary and secondary school

In an attempt to obtain information concerning the Design and Technology Capability of the main feeder Primary Schools to a large Comprehensive School, an Audit/Questionnaire was compiled and used. This took the form of lists of items (of both a curricular and logistical nature) involved in the teaching of Design and Technology. The Audit/Questionnaire was completed for each Junior School by a member of the school and the Technology Co-ordinator from the Comprehensive School. This person also produced a variety of summary sheets concerning a number of Technological aspects from all of the Junior Schools involved in the survey. Such an exercise has proved to be useful (and it is hoped increasingly so) in the task of planning a Technology Curriculum within the National Curriculum framework for Technology from five to sixteen.
