Designers as Teachers and Learners: Transferring Workplace Design Practice into Educational Settings
B. Mawson 《International Journal of Technology and Design Education》2007,17(2):163-177
The nature of the design process and how to develop this skill in novice designers has been of considerable interest to technology
educators. The relationship between workplace and school-based design is one area in which a need for further research has
been identified by Hill and Anning (2001, International Journal of Technology and Design Education
11, 111–136). The research project described in this article had two aims. The first was to compare the workplace practice of
six experienced designers with their practice when working on a technological assessment task as part of a pre-service teacher
education programme. The second aim was to investigate their experience on teaching practicum in developing design skills
with secondary school students. Findings from the research are described and the paper concludes with a discussion of the
implications for teaching technology education. 相似文献

In this article the impact of technology education, as a new learning area (subject) in the curriculum, on in-service teacher
education in South Africa is described in order to ascertain the extent of the impact. The research on which this article
is based draws on a variety of experiences and observations in the field at grassroots level (in particular an outreach project
in rural communities). The envisaged impact of technology education on South African schools, communities, teacher educators
and teachers, the range of in-service teacher education that is required, and the impacts in urban and rural areas are discussed.
Finally a number of concluding remarks are made about the extent of the impact of the inclusion of technology education in
the new National Curriculum Statement and whether the situation has changed since the implementation of a pilot technology
education project in 1998.

Future elementary school teachers often lack self-efficacy for teaching science and technology. They are particularly anxious
about encouraging children to carry-out student-directed, open-ended scientific inquiry and/or technological design projects.
Moreover, because this often also is the case with practising elementary school teachers, it is difficult for student–teachers
to gain practical experience facilitating student-led project work during practicum sessions. To provide student–teachers
with expertise and motivation for promoting student-directed, open-ended project work, therefore, a group of future elementary
teachers were taken through a constructivism-informed ‘apprenticeship’ during their university-based teaching methods course
and then invited to make project work the subject of the action research that they were required to complete during their
practicum. In this paper, successes that one student–teacher (out of 78 studied) experienced in promoting student-directed,
open-ended technological design projects are reported. Although she judged children’s designs to be modestly successful, data
indicate that her self-efficacy for promoting project work increased significantly. Analyses of qualitative data collected
during the methods course and practicum also indicate that aspects of the curriculum, teachers, students and milieu appeared to contribute to this success. Such findings suggest that teacher educators should focus on helping future elementary
teachers to develop expertise and motivation that would enable and encourage children to conduct technological design projects
before conducting scientific inquiries. Such a tack may be the most pragmatic—and, arguably, epistemologically-sound—approach for
helping ‘science- and technology-phobic’ student–teachers to move from the periphery to the core of practices in science and
technology education. 相似文献

The paper explores the adoption of the social dimensions of sustainability in technological design tasks. It uses a lens which
contrasts education for sustainability as ‘a frame of mind’ with an attempt to bridge a ‘value-action gap’. This lens is used
to analyse the effectiveness of the Sustainable Design Award, an intervention in post-16 technology education in three countries
to encourage students and teachers to strengthen design for sustainability in their work. In each country, the intervention
project provided varying combinations of teacher professional development, provision of learning resources, in school student
support, lobbying of key curriculum policy makers and a student Award. Three types of teacher are identified by reference
to their motivation for introducing sustainability into their teaching of design. These teacher types are linked to a hierarchy
of teachers’ understanding of the social dimension of sustainability. The consequences for continuous professional development
are examined. The findings are then used to critique the value of the lens. 相似文献

This research project aimed to analyse and clarify the impact of the formation of the Technological and Applied Studies (TAS) Key Learning Area (KLA) on school organisation, teachers and teaching method. It further aimed to examine the implications of this change for pre-service teacher education programs. In 1989 the NSW government White paper on curriculum reform mandated the restructuring of primary and secondary schooling. As a part of this restructuring the subjects that had been traditionally taught under the Home Economics and Industrial Arts departments, together with agriculture and computing studies were brought together under the TAS KLA. The government also mandated that every secondary school student would be required to study technology through a newly developed syllabusDesign and Technology Years 7–10. These changes have had significant implications for the organisation and delivery of technology curriculum in secondary schools and there are consequent implications for the provision of teacher education in the field of technology.Ms. Y. McDonald is currently the program director and practicum co-ordinator of the undergraduate bachelor of education secondary home economics: design, technology and health studies program in the Faculty of Education at Sydney University.Mr. J. Gibson is currently the program director and practicum co-ordinator of the undergraduate bachelor of education secondary industrial arts: design and technology program in the Faculty of Education at Sydney University. He has had extensive experience in curriculum development in the technology area through his membership of syllabus committees and the Technological and Applied Studies Key Learning Area Co-ordinating Committee of the NSW Board of Studies. 相似文献

In this issue of the International Journal of Technology and Design, we report on a series of case studies from the second
phase of an international project—Developing Professional Thinking for Technology Teachers (DEPTH2). The first phase of the
project was a study conducted with both primary and secondary technology pre-service teacher education students in a number
of different countries who were given the same teacher-knowledge graphical framework as a tool to support reflection on their
professional knowledge. We discovered that, despite the different country contexts, student teachers of technology could articulate
aspects of their developing teacher knowledge using the same framework for teacher professional development. As previously
reported in this journal (Banks et al. International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 14, 141–157, 2004), the common graphical tool enabled them to set out their subject knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and ‘school’
knowledge and was useful in helping them become more self-aware. In this second phase of the project we have developed this
line of research in two ways. First, we extended the range of participants to include experienced teachers involved in in-service
work connected to curriculum development. Second, we looked at the inter-relationship for pre-service teachers between their
developing professional knowledge and their own ‘personal subject construct’. In this article, the theoretical framework for
the subsequent papers is described and set in the context of recent debates surrounding the nature and importance of teacher
knowledge; and the way such professional knowledge can be articulated by teachers. 相似文献

This paper originated from a two-year technological education teacher development project at the Faculty of Education, The University of Western Ontario. The authors searched for an understanding of technology and technological education through traditional scholarly means, i.e., a literature review, and through an action research venture that, it was thought, would reveal the parameters of ‘technology’. The paper, beyond helping to give the authors and the reader a better understanding of what it means to define an elusive concept, serves to give technology educators a conceptual starting point from which to build insight into the elements of their life's work. The function and form of the paper evolved from the project process. They [the function and form] were determined by the nature of and ambiguities associated with technology. The reader is invited, for example, to consider the historical, social, cultural, and philosophical dimensions of technology. Rather than draw parallels about technology from those diverse disciplines, a daunting task, the paper charts a terrain from which investigators who seek a definition of technology and a framework for the subsequent study of technology, might get their bearings. The paper includes approaches to defining technology, a literature review, a comparison of science and technology, and an epilogue. While a definition is offered as part of the epilogue, the larger purpose of the paper is to improve one's understanding of an ubiquitous phenomenon. The central question of the ongoing debate, in Ontario and elsewhere, about the role and direction of technological education, is inherent in the paper and in the mandate of the teacher development project. What is technology and where and in what form does it belong in the curriculum of the schools? 相似文献

Integrated Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education is an emerging approach to improve students’ achievement and interest in STEM disciplines. However, the implementation of integrated STEM education depends strongly on teachers’ competence, which entails, among others, teachers’ attitudes. Nonetheless, not much is known about the factors that influence teachers’ attitudes toward teaching integrated STEM. Therefore this paper uses a survey method to get insight into the relationship between three groups of variables and teachers’ attitudes toward teaching integrated STEM: teacher background characteristics, personal attitudes and school context variables. The results of the multiple regression analyses reveal three variables that are positively linked with teachers’ attitudes: professional development, personal relevance of science and social context. Moreover two variables show a negative correlation: having more than 20 years of teaching experience and experience in mathematics. The results of this study provide valuable information about factors related to teachers’ attitudes toward teaching integrated STEM. Moreover, these results can be deployed by school administrators to guide them when implementing integrated STEM education in their school. 相似文献

The tools to help teachers reflect on their professional knowledge are few in number, and often difficult to utilise. This
paper reports on a study conducted with both primary and secondary technology initial teacher education students in a number
of different countries who were given the same teacher-knowledge graphical framework as a tool to support reflection on their
own professional knowledge. We wanted to investigate if, despite the different country contexts, student teachers of technology
could take advantage of their experience with graphic visualisation to help them articulate abstract notions such as aspects
of their developing teacher knowledge. We discovered that the graphical tool acted as a framework that enabled them to set
out their subject knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and `school' knowledge and was useful in helping them become more self-aware.
In this paper, the framework itself is introduced, the way it was presented to the novice teachers is outlined and the relative
impact of such `self awareness' on their understandings, enabled by the framework, is then discussed.

An increasing variety of professional educational and training disciplines are now problem based (eg, medicine, nursing, engineering,
community health), and they may have a corresponding variety of educational objectives. However, they all have in common the
use of problems in the instructional sequence. The problems may be as diverse as a mechanical predicament, an unexplained
phenomena, or patient symptoms. Technology education in secondary schools is undergoing a period of significant change in
many countries. It is therefore imperative that technology teacher education adopt not only the technologies that have been
identified as being important, but also incorporate appropriate methodologies for the instruction of these technologies. PBL
offers a number of relevant features to technology education and it is because of these that the project outlined in this
paper has been developed. 相似文献

Focus groups are increasingly used in industry to elicit data on product users' less tangible needs and associated product symbolism. This can have a considerable impact on a product's subsequent sales and hence is commercially extremely valuable design research. This paper provides an overview of an action research project which placed both a designer and an undergraduate designer, rather than a market researcher in direct contact with users in focus groups. The aim of the work was two-fold: firstly to develop a protocol for a designer to manage focus groups effectively, and secondly to see if this experience could improve the designer's ability to empathise with a range of users (socio-economic, culture, gender, age or abilities). In reporting the above, the paper also attempts to extrapolate the findings to a schools context; could focus group methods be used be used by students at a school level both as a vehicle for design research and as a learning tool? This paper provides a background to focus group methods, together with their advantages and limitations. The action research project is described and three case studies within it are outlined. The protocols developed are described. The final section of the paper looks at the degree to which this work could be extrapolated to schools level design work both in the United Kingdom and internationally. 相似文献

Teacher knowledge guides a teacher’s behaviour in the classroom. Teacher knowledge for technology education is generally assumed to play an important role in affecting pupils’ learning in technology. There are an abundant number of teacher knowledge models that visualise different domains of teacher knowledge, but clear empirical evidence on how these domains interact is lacking. Insights into the interaction of teacher knowledge domains could be useful for teacher training. In this study, the hypothesised relations between different domains of teacher knowledge for technology education in primary schools were empirically investigated. Subject matter knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy were measured with tests and questionnaires. Results from a path analysis showed that subject matter knowledge is an important prerequisite for both pedagogical content knowledge and self-efficacy. Subsequently, teachers’ self-efficacy was found to have a strong influence on teachers’ attitude towards technology. Based on the findings in this study, it is recommended that teacher training should first of all focus on the development of teachers’ subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge. This knowledge will positively affect teachers’ confidence in teaching and, in turn, their attitude towards the subject. More confidence in technology teaching and a more positive attitude are expected to increase the frequency of technology education, which consequently increases teaching experience and thereby stimulates the development of teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge. This circle of positive reinforcement will eventually contribute to the quality of technology education in primary schools. 相似文献

This study presents the case of development and evaluation of a STEM-oriented 30-h robotics course for junior high school students (n = 32). Class activities were designed according to the P3 Task Taxonomy, which included: (1) practice—basic closed-ended tasks and exercises; (2) problem solving—small-scale open-ended assignments in which the learner can choose the solution method or arrive at different answers; and (3) project-based learning—open-ended challenging tasks. The research aimed at exploring students’ working patterns, achievements in learning the course, and the impact of this experience on students’ motivation to learn STEM subjects. Evaluation tools included a final exam on factual, procedural and conceptual knowledge in the STEM subject learned in the course, class observations, interviews with the students, and administrating an attitude questionnaire before and after the course. Since the experimental class was quite heterogenic in regard to students’ prior learning achievements and motivation to learn, some of the students completed just the basic exercises, others coped well with the problem-solving tasks, and only a few took it upon themselves to carry out a complex project. However, all students showed high motivation to learn robotics and STEM subjects. In summary, robotics provides a very rich and attractive learning environment for STEM education. Yet, the realization of this potential depends largely on careful design of the course methodology and especially the students’ assignments in the class. One should recognize that often only some students are capable of learning a new subject on their own through project work, and these students also need to gain additional knowledge and skills before dealing with complex projects. 相似文献

Technology-mediated teaching and learning enables access to educational opportunities, irrespective of locality, ruruality or remoteness. The design, development and delivery of technology enhanced learning in pre-service teacher education programs is therefore gaining momentum, both in Australia and internationally. Much research regarding online, or blended learning, has focussed on theoretically-founded learning areas, with less attention directed toward fundamentally practical learning areas, such as Design and Technology Education. Situated within the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Education, Primary, and Primary/Middle) degrees at the University of South Australia, Australia, this study captures the design, development and delivery of a blended Design and Technology course with first and third year pre-service teachers. Drawing on course learning analytics, pre-service teacher responses, and the reflective practice of teaching academics, this paper highlights the facilitators and challenges in transitioning to a blended model of curriculum delivery that addresses the contexts of the Australian Curriculum: Technologies. 相似文献

This paper describes the frameworks and cognitive tools that have been developed to enhance practising teachers' pedagogical
content knowledge in primary school technology education. The frameworks evolved from our research that firstly examined existing
teaching practices, secondly enhanced formative interactions and thirdly enhanced summative assessment strategies. The evidence
gained over the three years demonstrated how the effective use of frameworks could be utilised to enhance teacher pedagogical
content knowledge (PCK). How we see learning is of prime importance in examining the development of teacher pedagogical content
knowledge. A sociocultural view of learning is taken where human mental processes are situated within their historical, cultural
and institutional setting. In the research project we strongly emphasised the need for teachers to build a knowledge base
for teaching technology. Critical aspects identified as enhancing PCK included: negotiated intervention, planning frameworks,
reflection on case studies, workshops and support in classrooms, appropriate resources, teacher agreement meetings, portfolios
of student work and summative profiles. The increased PCK resulted in: enhanced teacher knowledge about technology including
the nature of technology, areas of technology and specific technological knowledge, changed pedagogical approaches, enhanced
teacher student interaction, refinement of appropriate learning outcomes, critical decision making, improved teacher confidence,
and enhanced student learning. Seven characteristics or features of pedagogical content knowledge that we believe are important
for effective teaching and learning in technology are presented.

The professionalism of teachers is based on three levels of expertise: mastering academic knowledge, mastering the teaching of this knowledge and mastering the role played by teachers in schools. For each of these levels, each student during the teacher training courses has his own understanding. This understanding influences their perception of the job of teacher and thus their attitude towards their training. Efficiency of this training could be evaluated through the evolution of this understanding. The experimental part of this study will involve looking at this evolution with students from the ENSET in Libreville at the beginning of the training course, the end of the first cycle and the end of the second cycle. Data collected shows that training does not really produce the desired results for a university vocational teacher training course for technology education. 相似文献

This paper investigates developments in the teaching of food technology introduced as an element of design & technology in
the 1990 National Curriculum for Technology in the English primary curriculum for children aged five to eleven years.
It reviews briefly the situation for food teaching before 1990 and identifies a number of relevant issues. This is followed
by an overview of developments in food technology in primary schools between 1992 and 2001, highlighting the need for primary
teachers and trainee teachers on initial teacher education courses to develop an understanding of how to teach food technology
in their schools. The development of teaching materials through the Nuffield Approach to food technology in primary schools
is outlined together with a case study of the use of the materials in initial teacher education at the University of Surrey
Roehampton.
The paper describes the uptake of Nuffield Primary food technology materials as measured by down loads from the Nuffield Primary
Design & Technology web site. Alongside this, there are reflections of primary trainee teachers on the impact of using the
Nuffield food technology materials on their classroom practice during school experience. It concludes with a discussion of
the key issues arising from the paper and suggestions for future research.
