Abstract: | This paper reviews the status of value judgements within Design and Technology education in Scotland in relation to National
Guidelines. It highlights consequences for teacher education. These include developing critical awareness, acquiring and assessing
information and developing the skills of decision-making and appraisal necessary for discrimination and judgement in the context
of an increasingly international arena. The literature suggests that there is little support for the teaching of product appraisal
and the evaluative strategies required. Initial teacher education and in-service programmes are being developed to enable
teachers to respond to the challenge of this often controversial aspect of Design and Technology.
