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…

Transparency in the reporting of empirical studies is foundational to a credible knowledge base. Higher levels of transparency, in addition to clarity in writing, also make research more accessible to a diverse readership. Previous research reviewed how transparently reported qualitative, interview-based, studies were in contemporary technology…

Eliasson, Sara; Peterson, Louise; Lantz-Andersson, Annika – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Technology education in early childhood education (ECE) has only recently been established internationally as a curriculum content area. The interdisciplinary character of technology education and its status as a field under development occasion a need to distinguish and define technology in the merging of disciplines. This literature review…

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…

Wammes, Dannie; Slof, Bert; Schot, Willemijn; Kester, Liesbeth – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Pupils benefit from adaptive instruction and feedback from their teachers. A prerequisite for providing adaptive instruction is that teachers' diagnostic ability enables them to correctly perceive their pupils' skill level. A short course has been developed to improve primary school teachers' diagnostic ability for engineering. Based on…

Buckley, Jeffrey – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
General intelligence is a fundamental human capacity with significant educational implications. However, it is often not considered in educational research despite substantial evidence illustrating its association with positive life outcomes and student's capacity to learn. There are a number of potential reasons for this including the…

Citrohn, Björn; Svensson, Maria – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
In this study we investigate how 11 Swedish technology teachers perceive model functions in technology education. The main reason for investigating model functions in technology is an identified lack of knowledge about, and research studies into, a conscious use of models when teaching technology, even though models are part of technology…
