Technology Education Research Conference

人们对在学校教授技术知识越来越感兴趣。技术素养是高级技术教育（ATE）项目发展的基础。对学生如何理解技术概念的研究落后于科学和数学教育的类似研究。本次会议是科学和技术教育研究人员的第二次会议，以考虑学生如何学习技术。第一次会议审查了现有问题。本次会议将讨论在技术教育中有用的具体模型，并为规划研究项目提供一些指导。该研究将影响材料开发和ATE和教学材料开发（IMD）的专业发展项目。

There is increasing interest in the teaching of technological literacy in schools. Technological literacy is the basis for the development of programs in Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Research into how students come to understand technological concepts lags behind similar research in science and mathematics education. This conference is the second conference of researchers in science and technology education to consider how students learn about technology. The first conference surveyed existing issues. This conference is to discuss specific models that would be useful in technology education and provide some guidance in planning research projects. The research will influence materials development and professional development projects in ATE and Instructional Materials Development (IMD.)
