Technological Context Knowledge and Skills
The Ministry of Education has been exploring the place of technological context knowledge and skills within the learning area of Technology. The current technological context knowledge and skills (TCKS) project seeks to recognise the way in which specific knowledge and skill development supports generic understandings and practices in technology and how generic understandings and practices provide a broader purpose for the development of specific knowledge and skills. The final version of this material will form the basis for two subsequent projects:
- The development of context specific knowledge and skill achievement standards for technology; and
- The development of the Technology Teaching and Learning Guides.
