Teaching Design & Technology (Developing Science and Technology Education)

Updated from the 1992 edition in light of new National Curriculum requirements, explains the place and practice of teaching science and technology in British schools. Eggleston (education, U. of Warwick) shows how the Design and Technology subject has come to occupy a central place in the school curriculum; explores its origins, its manifestations in classroom practices, and its possible future; and its relationship to other domains such as gender and race issues, management, employment prospects, and the national economy.
