Abstract: | This paper explores the issues and concems identified by a small group of teachers implementing technology ideas using the
national document,A Statement on Technology for Australian Schools (Curriculum Corporation, 1994a), represented in four key questions they posed as a result of reflection upon their existing
ideas and practices, early in the study. These same issues and concerns framed their later experiences as the study progressed.
The case study of one of the teachers is used, to illustrate how the teachers implemented technology education working from
their own perspectives and tackling issues and concerns that made sense to them. By reviewing the teachers' own questions
about technology implementation, it is becoming, clear that what may be important for professional development in technology
education is related to the questions that the teachers themselves are asking about their own, beliefs and practices. |
