Abstract: | This paper explores the integration of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in technology education and the extent
to which it is currently addressed in curriculum documents and state examinations in technology education at post-primary
level in Ireland. This analysis is conducted amidst the backdrop of considerable change in technology education at post-primary
level. The analysis of the provision of technology education found, that among the range of technology related subjects offered,
the study of Technology and Society is only addressed in one in a comprehensive manner. The paper discusses the implications
of this limited integration, examines the factors inhibiting greater integration of ESD and outlines opportunities for future
development. |
