Course Description/Rationale:

Development of units of study for contemporary technology education programs with a review of the exemplars in curriculum, instruction, and evaluation.. Includes the study of historical, sociological, and psychological bases of technology education and the development of a philosophy of technology education;

Relationship to Other Courses :

It is meant to be taken simultaneously with Edu T&L 289.21 – Field Experience in Technology Education

Knowledge, Skills, and Dispositions

The goals of this course are to enable students to be able to:

1.    1. Discuss the history of technology education with respect to the philosophic, social, and economic forces within society at the time.

2.     Describe and discuss current trends in technology education with respect to the philosophic, social, and economic forces within society at present.

3.     Explain and defend a personal philosophy of education and technology education.

4.     Describe contemporary school environments with respect to the social context and the role of technology education in that environment.

5.     To plan, organize, and teach effective courses and lessons.

6.     Develop the ability to evaluate the effectiveness of curriculum and instruction.

7.     Become reflective and critical about their own educational practice.

Students will achieve these goals through constructivist and cooperative learning activities such as reading, discussions, classroom observations and critiques, writing papers, preparing schema and webs of related concepts, and participating in practice teaching of peers.

Off Campus Field Experiences:

Although this course will not have specific off campus field experience as an assignment, it will be offered in conjunction with a year long clinical/field internships. These coordinated experiences should enable students to use their field placements as a time and place to compare and contrast curriculum and lesson plans in at least two schools.

Diversity:

Inherent in the content of the course is the need to address curriculum planning for all students. Lesson planning will focus on all students and their diverse needs.

Technology:

Since this is a technology education course there will be an intense focus on teaching with the aid of instructional technologies, as well as, teaching the content of technology education. Many of the current technology education classrooms throughout the region have implemented computer driven, modular technology education programs. Students will be prepared to work with these programs as well as to utilize the rich resources available on the web and their in-depth technical experience with respect to creating computer graphics as they plan courses and lessons.
