Automation Technology in Elementary Technology Education.
Hiltunen, Jukka; Jarvinen, Esa-Matti
Journal of Industrial Teacher Education, v37 n4 p51-76 Sum 2000
Finnish fifth-graders (n=20) and sixth-graders (n=23) worked in teams in a Lego/Logo-Control Lab to complete Lego design activities. Observations showed that they became familiar with automation technology but their skills were not always up to their ideas. Activities based on real-life situations gave them ownership and engaged them in learning. (SK)
