Abstract
Technology Teacher Education Curriculum Courses
Highlights
Since I was conducting the study for a preliminary description of practices in technology teacher education curriculum courses and to identify as many practices as possible, the data are minimally reduced into categories in this report
Of the surveyed program areas that offered curriculum courses for and certified technology education teachers, 34% of the programs were listed as technology education programs
Summary While a coherent pattern of goals, topics, and student assignments appear to exist in technology teacher education courses this pattern reveals a technical orientation to developing curriculum
Summary
Based upon the very real problem that teachers have with curriculum design I sought to identify and describe some of the practices and goals of technology teacher education curriculum courses. Since research can be a tool for change I hope that this study supports a dialog about the role and responsibility of teacher educators with respect to changing curriculum practices in the field. Based on these objectives, the following questions guided the study: 1. What is the context of curriculum courses for preservice technology teachers?. 2. What is the content and practice (as described by teacher educators) of curriculum courses for preservice technology teachers?.
