TL;DR: This literature review examines the application of design thinking in early childhood education and care, identifying themes of reasons and ways to apply it with young learners (5-8 years) to enhance multidisciplinary teaching and support developmental domains.
Abstract: Abstract Design thinking is a cognitive, iterative process that involves identifying goals, understanding users, and creating solutions. It has changed from a designers’ activity to an all-around approach to the innovation process and become a pedagogical phenomenon. In this article, design thinking method is studied in an educational context among young learners (children aged 5–8) through a literature review. The aim of this review is to gain an understanding of the reasons why and the ways in which design thinking is applied as an educational method in early childhood education and care. Through the review, we aim to find new ideas for teaching craft, design, and technology education with young learners. We present the results of 20 peer-reviewed articles reporting empirical studies of applying design thinking methods in an educational context with young learners. The results show that previous research has identified three themes of reasons to apply design thinking in early childhood education and care: enhancing multidisciplinary teaching, teaching design thinking as a method and supporting children’s developmental domains, and participatory learning. The ways to apply design thinking with young learners also coalesced into three themes: children acting as designers by solving real-life problems, open-ended science problems, and challenges in imaginary play. In conclusion, we consider these findings from the perspective of teaching craft, design, and technology education for young learners.

TL;DR: This qualitative case study outlines technology and engineering education (TEE) in Finnish primary and secondary school craft, defining core learning goals, engineering content, and pedagogy, providing new theoretical foundations for TEE in general education.
Abstract: Abstract Technology and engineering education (TEE) corresponds to technical craft in Finnish primary and secondary school craft subject. However, there have not been in the specific descriptions of the technology and engineering content in the subject in the national core curricula for basic education since 1994. The research task here was to outline what TEE is in Finnish primary and secondary school craft. The research method was a qualitative case study, based on the experts’ outlines. The core of TEE learning goals definitions, the content of engineering, and its pedagogy was used to analyse the data collected from TEE experts (n = 23). As a result, new theoretical foundations of TEE in general education are presented. The description includes the basics of the conditions of existence for the subject, and its key general leaning goals in the framework of technology education, main in engineering fields and methods and central pedagogical models. The results reveal the diverse and unified structure of TEE to be used in the craft subject in general education and teacher education, and in outlining and studying the future development of TEE.

The incorporation of indigenous technology into the teaching of technology in the south african school context: transforming education for a changing world

[...]

8 Jan 2024
Abstract: Abstract Under its third aim, to appreciate the interaction between people's values, technology, society, and the environment, the South African Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) technology Grades R–9 includes indigenous technology, and the sub-aim emphasizes that students learn how indigenous cultures use specific materials and processes to satisfy needs and become aware of indigenous intellectual property rights. This suggests that technology teachers should incorporate locally produced technology into their lessons, which they currently do not. In order to better understand how technology teachers, perceive and attempt to incorporate indigenous technology into their lessons, this qualitative interpretive study was conducted. At all levels, it should be applied to incorporate indigenous technology into the teaching of technology in South African schools. In the Free State Province's Motheo district, seven technology teachers for grade 7 were conveniently chosen to take part in the study. The results show that although technology teachers are familiar with local technology, they find it difficult to incorporate it into their lessons.

TL;DR: Authentic teaching and learning in the technology program at an upper secondary school exhibits characteristics of authentic learning, facilitated by early exposure, teacher empowerment, and strong support from management and resources.
Abstract: Abstract In literature, teaching for an authentic learning experience is seen as rewarding and interesting, promoting better understanding of for example sustainable development and fostering students’ independence. Some upper secondary schools emphasise authentic teaching and learning on their websites, showcasing how students engage in authentic tasks. We are interested in examining how authentic teaching is implemented in practice and what enables it. Therefore, we investigate a specific practice where authentic teaching occurs, and we follow students and teachers. We want to understand what may be required to implement authentic teaching. The research questions were: What characterises authentic teaching and learning when students on the technology program work on their design projects and individual pieces of work? How is authentic teaching and learning facilitated? Students in Year 3 of the technology program engaged in a project where they studied residential apartments’ resource use and climate impact using sensors. They visited the energy research team, learned about the technology and data collection, and completed own upper secondary school projects related to sensor technology, programming, and data analysis. These were meant to be characterised by authenticity according to the school’s procedures. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and analysis of video material, sound recordings, and field notes. The analysis revealed that the teaching exhibited characteristics of authentic learning, facilitated by early exposure, teacher empowerment, and strong support from management and resources. The results thus show both the characteristics of how the teaching is organized and how teachers handle students’ learning, as well as the organizational factors at the specific school that enable it.

Abstract: The fact that technology plays a much larger role in the digital era than it did for previous generations has made today's generation having a high level of technological literacy. The increase in this literacy coupled with recent technological advances has led to the expansion of technology in education. From the millennial to Gen-Z, these are the generations that are coming into the classroom today and they share unique characteristics that define their generations. These generations expect to be engaged in their learning and they do not do well being passive learners. Hence, technology has to be embraced in today's education and teachers have to apply technology as part of the students learning. This paper reviews the generations of learners that teachers are having today and how these generations impacted the transformation of education in the digital era. This paper also presents some of the emerging technologies and discusses the needs of pedagogical transformation to invent new forms of teaching and learning as well as the importance of redesigning and rethinking education in the digital era.

TL;DR: This article introduces Mindsetting and Brainsetting education, two types of informal education that emphasize techniques and skills, to address the limitations of traditional education in the era of rapid technological progress and abundant online resources.
Abstract: Considering the rapid progress of technology in the fields of cognition, robotics, and artificial intelligence, as well as the abundance and easy access to educational materials in cyberspace, traditional education no longer meets the actual needs of society. Informal education has overcome formal education by placing a greater emphasis on techniques and skills. In this article, two types of education were introduced: a) Mindsetting education (including mind-filling education and mind-developing education) and b) Brainsetting education (including brain-exercising education and brain-generating education). The first relates to thinking and thoughts, and the second is knowledge and skills. In fact, with the advent of intelligent educational systems, there has been a shift from soft, mental, and human approaches to more hard, cerebral, and machine approaches, which teachers and educational specialists need to consider.

The population of the study consisted of all the 136 NCE II students in the 8 Colleges of Education offering Building Technology spread across 7 states in North-Central Nigeria. The study sample was made up of 44 NCE II Building Technology students. Random sampling technique was used in selecting four out of the eight Colleges of Education offering Building Technology in the seven states. In each of the Colleges of Education, the NCE II Building Technology intact classes were randomly assigned to Model-Based Demonstration and Bi-Directional peer-tutoring as well as conventional teaching method treatments, respectively. The quasi-experimental research design which utilized pre-test, post-test, experimental-control group design was employed. Two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The instruments used for data collection was the Building Technology Achievement and Retention Test (BCART). BCART consisted of 60 multiple choice items and had a reliability co-efficient of 0.81 which was obtained using Kuder Richardson’s formula 20. BCART was validated by three Building Technology experts from Colleges of Education. The data collected was analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, t-test . The findings revealed that: there was a significant difference between the post-test Mean score in favour of the experimental group taught building technology using Model-Based Demonstration Method and Bi-Directional Peer-Tutoring over the control group taught with Conventional Teaching Method. It was concluded that Model-Based Demonstration and Bi-Directional Peer-Tutoring Teaching Methods are better than Conventional Teaching Method. It was recommended among others that: Building Technology teachers should be encouraged to employ Model-Based Demonstration and Bi-Directional Peer-Tutoring Instructional Methods in order to enhance students’ achievement in Building Technology and at the same time, minimize the conventional teaching method which seems to prevail in Nigerian educational institutions.
