- Abstract
- It is evident that there are numerous conceptions of what constitutes technology in the primary classroom, and yet a shared understanding of the subject area is crucial for the productive development of the discipline. In this study, pre-service teachers reflected on a new method of teaching technology that provides for a shared conceptualisation of the Key Learning Area. It is apparent that such a structure may allow for meaningful and shared insights into technological practice and provide a possible basis for structuring technology education courses, particularly for those students unfamiliar with the subject. This research is significant in that it examines a pedagogical method that has, until now, not been utilised in such pre-service courses, and addresses some of the major concerns being voiced in the subject area.
