Technology Education. A Curriculum Guide. VOC ED 226.
Thode, Brad
This curriculum guide provides ideas for implementing technology education in grades 7-12. It assumes a basic understanding of the four clusters of manufacturing, construction, communications, and power/transportation and is meant to supplement and reorganize this approach with up-to-date information and activities. One way to present a variety of technological concepts in industrial arts is outlined. A technology education task list that groups the tasks into six modules follows. The module titles are: computer applications in technology; automation, robotics, and industrial practices; light, lasers, and fiberoptics; communication technology; technology/academic correlation; and future technology. An outline provides an overview of how technology education can be integrated into the four cluster approach. Each supporting objective is listed according to related cluster areas. Another outline lists tasks under the six modules. A performance objective and enabling objectives are given for each task. Appendixes include a glossary of computer terms for technology education, a list of suggested resources and related materials on implementation of a technology education program, an introduction to robotics for technology education instructors, and a communications model.
