CRITIQUE IN DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION GEB...

This book addresses notions of critique in Design and Technology Education  facilitating a
conceptual and practical understanding of critique  and enabling both a personal and
pedagogical application to practice.Critique can be a frame of mind  and may be related to a
technology  product  process or material. In a holistic sense  critique is an element of a
person's technological literacy  a fundamentally critical disposition brought to bear on all
things technological. This book provides a reasoned conceptual framework within which to
develop critique  and examples of applying the framework to Design and Technology Education.
The book builds on The Future of Technology Education published by Springer as the first in the
series Contemporary Issues in Technology Education.In the 21st century  an 'age of knowledge' 
students are called upon to access  analyse and evaluate constantly changing information to
support personal and workplace decision making and on-going innovation. A critical Design and
Technology Education has an important role to play  providing students with opportunities to
integrate economic  environmental  social and technological worlds as they develop and refine
their technological literacy. Through the design and development of technology  they
collaborate  evaluate and critically apply information  developing cognitive and manipulative
skills appropriate to the 21st century. Critique goes beyond review or analysis  addressing
positive and negative technological development. This book discusses and applies this deeper
perspective  identifying a clear role for critique in the context of Design and Technology
Education.
