Abstract: | This paper presents a model to describe technological literacy as enacted by indiviudals in the course of shaping their lives
and the world around them. The model has two interrelated facets—the potential for and enactment of technological literacy—where enactment and potential mutually constitute each other. This potential is made up of knowledge of a particular situation, personal engagement with a situation, and social engagement in the world.
Enactment requires a particular set of competencies in action, which together helps shape the situation: recognizing needs; articulating
problems; contributing towards the technological process; and analysing consequences. The implications of this model for technological
literacy in the context of the individual and society, and the role of technology education in developing technological literacy,
are discussed. |
