NCEA L1 Hangarau study guide
NCEA L1 Hangarau · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
Hangarau is the technology learning area of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, the Māori-medium curriculum, and this page is the NZQA subject page for Hangarau at NCEA. It is written for ākonga learning through te reo Māori and for kaiako teaching the marau, and it gathers the support materials both groups need: aromatawai tarāwhare and tarāwaho (internal and external assessment), assessment dates, achievement standards, exemplars, assessment schedules and reports, clarification documents, and digital assessment links. At Kaupae 1 the external assessment calendar lists two Hangarau standards: Hangarau 92054, assessed 16 o Hepetema, and Hangarau 92055, assessed 28 o Oketopa. Internal assessment is managed through Aromātairua Tarāwaho (external moderation) run by kāhui, with Kāhui 1 on 23 o Ākuhata and Kāhui 2 on 28–29 o Noema; while a kāhui sits, kaitakawaenga prepare moderation reports and templates for tarāwhare standards. Topics on this exam: Hangarau 92054 and Hangarau 92055. The NCEA L1 Hangarau study guide has 2 sections and about 606 words.
01Hangarau 92054: Te whakamahi hangarau matihiko
This domain tests how you use digital hangarau to meet a purpose and explain your decisions. Questions typically ask you to break a problem into steps, choose an appropriate digital tool, and check the outcome against the brief. In a Māori-medium context, you also need to consider who the outcome is for and whether it fits tikanga. Start from the whāinga (purpose) and paearu (criteria).

This domain tests technological practice: developing an outcome from a brief through planning, making, testing, and evaluation. Questions ask you to show how stakeholder feedback and your own testing shaped the final outcome, not just what you built. A brief states the need, the people affected, and the boundaries (time, materials, safety). Specifications must be measurable: “holds 20 kg”, not “strong”.
