Abstract
Directions for an innovation climate have been evident since 1996 when the Federal Government endorsed the Australian Science Technology and Engineering Council for its first comprehensive foresight review identifying essential priorities as a national interest in innovation capacity building Australia's future generations. As the Australian economy continues to transition away from the mining boom and shifts focus to the agriculture sector in regional communities, the country's future growth is dependent on fostering and promoting innovative ideas as a National Innovation & Science Agenda (Australian Government, 2016). Sustainable and effective learning of technological practice has important implications for innovation capacity building in primary and secondary Technology Education students and opens up the possibility for framing new models of assessment in school curriculum concerned with the choice and use of cross disciplinary tools and materials. However, literature suggests innovation has no single typical set of descriptors but rather many overlapping attributes, thus the capacity to assess innovation in a teaching and learning context lacks an underlining theorem. This research offers a guiding structure to promote teaching and learning assessment methods aligned with identifying appropriate qualities of design-led innovation in food education.
