Lesson 6

Testing

In this lesson, students will focus on the importance of feedback and iteration in user-centered design. They will write survey questions to guide their user feedback and connect with other classmates to complete the feedback process. Students will then apply this feedback to the design of their prototype, highlighting specifically where user feedback influenced the changes to their design.

Standards

CSTA Standards

2-AP-10: Use flowcharts and/or pseudocode to address complex problems as algorithms
2-AP-15: Seek and incorporate feedback from team members and users to refine a solution that meets user needs
2-AP-19: Document programs in order to make them easier to follow, test, and debug.
2-IC-22: Collaborate with many contributors through strategies such as crowdsourcing or surveys when creating a computational artifact.

Common Core Standards

ELA.RST.6-8.7: Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table).
ELA.SL.6.1: Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 6 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly.

NGSS Standards

MS-ETS1-2: Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem
MS-ETS1-4: Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
