The purpose of this study is to explore whether, and if so how, a design activity could encourage students to express and develop knowledge on emerging technology in relation to issues about sustainability. Several researchers have asserted that, in today’s technologically dependent society, it is important to be able to control technology and make informed decisions connected to technology. Design activities could make a significant contribution to technology education while students are developing their knowledge about technology. Thus, the present study aims to analyze students’ verbal interactions as they work in a design project, which includes designing a model of a house, regarding their ability to develop technological literacy with the support of a physical model. The study is based on several small-group interactions that were recorded, transcribed, analyzed, and discussed. This research project was conducted as an observation of technology education in a Swedish compulsory school. The students (aged 13–14) negotiated and shared knowledge about technology as they interacted with their fellow students. The results indicate that, in a relatively large number of situations, the students expressed knowledge about emerging technology and adopted a sustainability perspective while working in a design activity, and thereby, successively developed technological literacy. This meant that the students were able to integrate knowledge on emerging technology like graphene, nanotechnology, and algae batteries in their models. Furthermore, the results indicate that, during technical development work, students were able to develop reasoning, communication, and collaboration skills.

学生通过技术教育中的设计活动了解新兴技术和可持续性

本研究的目的是探索设计活动是否以及如何鼓励学生表达和发展与可持续性问题相关的新兴技术知识。一些研究人员断言,在当今依赖技术的社会中,能够控制技术并做出与技术相关的明智决策非常重要。在学生发展技术知识的同时,设计活动可以对技术教育做出重大贡献。因此,本研究旨在分析学生在设计项目(包括设计房屋模型)中的口头互动,以了解他们在物理模型的支持下发展技术素养的能力。该研究基于记录的几个小组互动,转录、分析和讨论。该研究项目是作为对瑞典义务学校技术教育的观察而进行的。学生(13-14 岁)在与同学互动时协商并分享有关技术的知识。结果表明,在相当多的情况下,学生在从事设计活动时表达了对新兴技术的知识,并采用了可持续发展的观点,从而逐步培养了技术素养。这意味着学生能够将石墨烯、纳米技术和藻类电池等新兴技术的知识整合到他们的模型中。此外,结果表明,在技术开发工作中,学生能够发展推理、沟通和协作技能。分析,讨论。该研究项目是作为对瑞典义务学校技术教育的观察而进行的。学生(13-14 岁)在与同学互动时协商并分享有关技术的知识。结果表明,在相当多的情况下,学生在从事设计活动时表达了对新兴技术的知识,并采用了可持续发展的观点,从而逐步培养了技术素养。这意味着学生能够将石墨烯、纳米技术和藻类电池等新兴技术的知识整合到他们的模型中。此外,结果表明,在技术开发工作中,学生能够发展推理、沟通和协作技能。分析,讨论。该研究项目是作为对瑞典义务学校技术教育的观察而进行的。学生(13-14 岁)在与同学互动时协商并分享有关技术的知识。结果表明,在相当多的情况下,学生在从事设计活动时表达了对新兴技术的知识,并采用了可持续发展的观点,从而逐步培养了技术素养。这意味着学生能够将石墨烯、纳米技术和藻类电池等新兴技术的知识整合到他们的模型中。此外,结果表明,在技术开发工作中,学生能够发展推理、沟通和协作技能。该研究项目是作为对瑞典义务学校技术教育的观察而进行的。学生(13-14 岁)在与同学互动时协商并分享有关技术的知识。结果表明,在相当多的情况下,学生在从事设计活动时表达了对新兴技术的知识,并采用了可持续发展的观点,从而逐步培养了技术素养。这意味着学生能够将石墨烯、纳米技术和藻类电池等新兴技术的知识整合到他们的模型中。此外,结果表明,在技术开发工作中,学生能够发展推理、沟通和协作技能。该研究项目是作为对瑞典义务学校技术教育的观察而进行的。学生(13-14 岁)在与同学互动时协商并分享有关技术的知识。结果表明,在相当多的情况下,学生在从事设计活动时表达了对新兴技术的知识,并采用了可持续发展的观点,从而逐步培养了技术素养。这意味着学生能够将石墨烯、纳米技术和藻类电池等新兴技术的知识整合到他们的模型中。此外,结果表明,在技术开发工作中,学生能够发展推理、沟通和协作技能。
