tasks develop students' D&T skills. As such, they are an
important step in the development of holistic D&T
capability. Teaching focused practical tasks involves
teacher led didactic lessons that may focus on any aspect of
D&T where a particular skill or process is to be demonstrated
and then practiced by students.
