Navigating didactic complexity
In several countries, programming has been incorporated in technology education. Yet it remains an emerging curriculum area in teacher education, and little is known about how teacher educators teach it. This study investigates how teacher educators for primary school grades 4–6 describe the teaching of programming in technology. Twelve teacher educators from eleven Swedish institutions of higher education were interviewed about examples from the…
A comparison of Irish and Swedish technology curricula
Technology education varies significantly across national jurisdictions, reflecting diverse philosophical and historical trajectories. This study presents a comparative analysis of the intended technology curricula for lower secondary education in Ireland and Sweden. Using the three part heuristic framework for technology education, the research examines the distribution of learning outcomes across three categories which consist of technical skil…
Can role-play play a role in authentic learning? Investigating two pre-university engineering education design projects
This study investigates the framing, implementation, and experience of role-play and challenge-based learning in design projects, and what aspects of authenticity they reveal in two Swedish upper secondary school engineering courses. In two different schools, students were to assume the role of engineering professionals and organise work with different roles and areas of responsibility, and act in suitable ways when interacting with ‘customers’ a…
AI literacy for K–12 education
Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently reshaping education around the world, but it is largely unclear what students need to learn about AI. The aim of this Delphi study is to identify consensus on central components of AI literacy in K–12 education by synthesizing views of diverse, interdisciplinary and international expert stakeholders. Through an online survey in three rounds, an international expert panel (n = 33, 27, 25) identified key co…
Perspectives on AI literacy in Middle School Classrooms
AI literacy in school education is booming within the scientific discourse of AI in education. How AI literacy is currently being framed serves diverse educational, political, and commercial purposes influencing how we imagine postdigital classrooms today and in the future. More importantly, how AI literacy emerges in primary education notably impacts how children understand AI and their own agency in a society where AI is ubiquitous. This study …
Easier Said than Done
Engineering design projects can enhance authenticity, increase relevance, and integrate STEM subjects without compromising their individual integrity. Nevertheless, the literature also warns that few STEM subject integration projects acknowledge students’ contexts and everyday problems. This study explores how teachers prepare for STEM subject integration in an engineering design project in a Swedish upper secondary school Technology programme an…
Design as the basis for integrated STEM education
STEM—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—has become important as an educational construct and phenomenon in recent years. However, it is only just recently that STEM education has begun to be examined from a philosophical point of view. There is therefore a need for further investigation of its philosophical basis, particularly in relation to integrated STEM education (iSTEM). Recent conceptual and empirical studies emphasize the cr…
Reflections on Technology for Educational Practitioners
Reflections on Technology for Educational Practitioners analyzes the use of philosophy of technology in technology education and unpacks the concept of ‘reflective practitioners’ (Donald Schön) in the field. Philosophy of technology develops ideas and concepts that are valuable for technology education because they show the basic characteristics of technology that are important if technology education is to present a fair image of what technology…
Technology, social space and environmental justice in Swedish cities
The aim of this article is to study how the Swedish cities Linköping and Norrköping treated new working-class suburbs during the period from 1860 to 1890, by looking at the extension of piped water supply. The author concludes that working-class suburbs were located in poor, geographically unfavourable and unsanitary places, to which extensions of water could be technically demanding and expensive, which led to frequent urban inability or unwilli…
The Growing Pains of the Pipe-Bound City
This article concerns the extension of water supply andsewerage in the Swedish industrial city Norrköping in the late 19th century. These technological sanitary systems were originally built for the city itself, but as the city grew the question of expanding them to the suburbs became crucial. It was the suburbs that asked for these urban services, but the city was often unwilling to help. From an ideological point of view, the border of the city…
