Abstract: | Integration of standardization into different levels of technology education has surfaced as a critical issue for educational
practitioners and policy makers at national and regional (APEC, EU) level. In this paper, we describe and analyze empirical
data collected from 118 educational experiences and practices about technology standards and standardization in 21 countries
of a regional variety. Specifically, this research examines standardization education programs these countries have implemented,
and explores suggestive indications for the design and development of an educational policy for standardization. Online surveys,
offline interviews, face-to-face meetings and case studies have been used to determine the way these standardization education
programs are segmented and implemented in different contexts. The findings are consolidated into a framework for standardization
education. The framework presents an applicable combination of target groups (who), appropriate learning objectives (why),
probable program operators (where), prospective contents modules (what), and preferred teaching methods (how). This framework
may contribute to planning and implementing more inclusive standardization education programs. |
