Author Description

Teaching Technology: Intermediate to Senior Phase responds to the need for a comprehensive guide to a subject area that teachers often experience as complex. It provides an entry point to fluent and confident Technology teaching through engaging with the content and methodology of the CAPS Technology Education curriculum in South African schools. Its approach and features help student and in-service teachers to produce technologically literate learners. Practically and resourcefully, Teaching Technology presents the history and theoretical underpinnings of the subject, mapping the integration of Science and Technology teaching. By presenting African perspectives of technology and its uses, and acknowledging the richness of indigenous knowledge, the book guides students and in-service teachers in using learners’ cultural knowledge as a springboard for greater conceptual understanding.
