Abstract

The Role of Teamwork in Technology Education: Observations From an Action Research Program

Highlights

There have been many definitions of technological education, they tend to focus on content, such as electronics, mechanics, etc
I would differentiate by suggesting that groupwork occurs when a number of children share a learning experience such as a textbook
Children would manage a task in which individuals would not necessarily have the same learning experience

Summary

There have been many definitions of technological education, they tend to focus on content, such as electronics, mechanics, etc. Children would manage a task in which individuals would not necessarily have the same learning experience. Team work approaches can increase levels of interest and application, increase perceived relevance, and develop the skills children will need when they enter the world of work.
