Autio, Ossi; Hansen, Ron
Journal of Technology Education, v14 n1 p5-19 Fall 2002
A group of 116 Finnish fifth- through ninth-graders used a problem-solving technology and crafts curriculum with computers; a control group (n=151) used traditional crafts curriculum and instruction. Results for motor skill development, technical knowledge, and emotional engagement suggest that all students should receive a balanced curriculum of technology and crafts education.
