Williams, P. John; Gu, Jianjun – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
In light of the fact that technology teachers' understandings of the nature of technology (NoT) determine students' perceptions of NoT, this study turned attention to technology teachers, and developed a comprehensive theoretical instrument for assessing their understandings of NoT. The theoretical framework of NoT was proposed using a…

Brink, Helen; Kilbrink, Nina; Gericke, Niklas – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
In secondary technology education, models of artifacts, systems and processes, visualized and simulated through digital tools (digital models) are a relatively new element. Technology teachers teach digital models to meet syllabus criteria of digital competence, applicable to for instance problem solving and documentation using digital tools.…

Ellinor Hultmark; Susanne Engström; Annica Gullberg – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
Understanding the reasoning in the design process is essential to comprehend design practice and promote students' learning. Followingly, to effectively support students through the design process, it is crucial to pay attention to their reasoning. Therefore, in this study, we have built a model for students' reasoning in the design process in…

Andrew Doyle; Niall Seery; Lena Gumaelius; Donal Canty; Eva Hartell – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
Technology education internationally has for some time struggled to achieve continuity between what is depicted in policy and curricular documents and the reality of day-to-day practices. With its focus often articulated through the nature of activity students are to engage with, technology teachers are recognised as having significant autonomy in…

Seery, Niall; Phelan, Joseph; Buckley, Jeffrey; Canty, Donal – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Design as a construct has multiple meanings depending on context, function, and agenda. This paper proposes to set out functions of design as it manifests in the context of technological activity for the purposes of technology education. The importance of context and by association intention in technological and designerly activity is presented…

Hallström, Jonas – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
From a philosophical viewpoint, technological design is about connecting what is desirable with what is technically possible. Technology itself plays a major role in design processes, not only because technology development is what designing is all about, but also since the existing technology at any given point in time frames what is possible to…
