Abstract
:
This is a comprehensive and innovative account of teaching and research in design and technology education. It gives pre-service and in-service teachers opportunities to reflect upon and further develop their understanding of technology and technological knowledge, and to consider several different approaches in a practical and interactive way. This edition has been significantly updated and written to reflect current research and practice in design and technology education for Australian children and pre-service teachers. New to this edition is a password-protected website offering additional student-generated artefacts, observations and video clips that further illustrate theory and practice in this important curriculum area.
