QUALITY LEARNING FOR TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION: AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO TARGET ACHIEVEMENT AND DEEPER LEARNING
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2011, Vol 38, Issue 1
Abstract
In recent times the role of the student in the learning process has received an increasing recognition. They have been transformed from passive receivers and regurgitators of knowledge to active participants at all stages of the learning process. The aim of this research is to introduce and review elements of an educational design for successful teaching and learning in Technology Education. The design utilises a sequenced pathway for successful achievement that details the intended learning, develops multifarious teaching episodes, provides opportunities for tangibly-evidenced student work, and identifies the criteria for successful achievement. It utilises an example of a practical activity that encourages informed participatory experiences to demonstrate examples of good practice in teaching Technology Education. Student involvement in the learning process begins with the identification of meaningful purpose and relevance while their practical work encourages cooperation, authenticity and individual accountability through portfolio assessment. The end result of their endeavour is measured in terms of their success in further developing their technological literacy.
