1.0 PREAMBLE production of agricultural commodities. The

syllabus will help all learners to acquire marketing
and value addition skills.
1.1 Introduction
The Wood Technology and Design syllabus covers l workshop safety and health
Forms 1-4 .The problem solving approach will be at
the centre of implementation of this syllabus. It also l science of materials (indigenous and exotic)
ensures access to learning and teaching Wood l use and maintenance of woodworking tools and
Technology and Design regardless of gender and
equipment
different physical abilities.
The syllabus promotes learners’ development of l problem solving
psychomotor skills and ensures that they develop
l construction and production techniques
socially, physically, emotionally and cognitively. It
serves as a firm foundation for entry into the l workshop calculations and costing
construction industry, self- reliance,
l drawing and design
entrepreneurship and further studies in Wood
Technology and Design. l Enterprise skills.
1.2 Rationale 1.4 Assumptions

The syllabus will develop qualities which will
The syllabus assumes that learners have:
emphasize the learners’ role in making and shaping
of their environment. It fosters the learner’s ability
to employ problem solving skills which will promote l drawing and measuring skills
the application of scientific and technological
l knowledge of some woodworking tools,
knowledge. The syllabus will promote
equipment and materials
entrepreneurial, recreational and other life skills
relevant in the contemporary society. The learning l knowledge of different wood artefacts
area will enable learners to appreciate the dignity l information communication technology and skills
of labour, integrity (unhu/ubuntu) and patriotism. It
l numeracy and scientific skills
will also enable learners to value the use of different
materials in design. This would allow greater l engaged in individual and group work activities
flexibility in solving practical problems encountered
l knowledge of environment, health and safety
in everyday life. An integral part of the syllabus will
be the development of the learners’ appreciation of
the significance of the principal raw materials used 1.5 Cross-cutting themes
in the workshop. The learner will be made aware of
In order to foster competency development for further
the subject’s environmental and economical impact
studies, life and work, the following cross-cutting themes
and provide solutions. The syllabus will inculcate
have to be taken into consideration in the teaching and
the culture of maintenance and self- reliance.

9.0 ASSESSMENT
Forms 1-3 Wood Technology and Design is assessed through continuous assessment. Form 4 is assessed
through continuous and summative assessment. Arrangements, modifications and provisions for the
assessment of candidates with special needs will be made to allow equal opportunities in accurate
performance and measurement of abilities. The scheme of assessment is based on the principle of inclusivity.
Forms 1-3 learners are required to design and realize one major community based project at each level as
continuous assessment. They are also required to write 1 major exercise per term based on theory sections,
1 major exercise per term based on drawing and design and carry out 1major practical exercise per term at
each level that should be submitted as continuous assessment at the end of each year. Form 4 learners are
also required to design and realize one major community based project as continuous assessment. They are
required to write 1 major exercise per term, in terms 1 and 2 based on theory sections, 1 major exercise per
term, in terms 1 and 2 based on drawing and design and carry out 1 major practical exercise per term, in
terms 1 and 2 that should be submitted as continuous assessment at the end of the year. The subject teacher
will set and mark the exercises, as well as record the marks using ZIMSEC guides.
ZIMSEC will also provide a template for the assessment of soft skills. Subject teachers will be required to
provide a file for each learner where each of the practical exercises and marked scripts will be kept. In addition,
subject teachers will also be required to create a file where exercises / question papers and marking guides
for each exercise administered as well as recorded marks will be kept. ZIMSEC and Ministry of Primary and
Secondary Education personnel will monitor the programme.
School heads will submit continuous assessment marks at the end of the year in Forms 1-4 as provided for
by ZIMSEC.
