Institution:

The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: Sophomore standing The course is an initial professional experience for technology teacher education candidates. Technology/Pre-Engineering Education (the study of the designed world in an education context) as a subject is a dynamic new teaching field reflecting the need for students to better understand their world through a design-based learning environment. Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study of Technology were published in 2000. The National Science Foundation (NSF), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and most recently the Technology for All Americans (TfAA) project have recognized Technology Education/PreEngineering as a new field of study and as an important element of school reform. This introduction will include observations of classroom activities and school administrative functions, teaching small groups of students, studying about selecting content and methods for instruction and historical developments in the field. Student membership in ITEEA and NJTEA is required (and ASEE is recommended).
