  1. Developing Curriculumusing Technology for All Americans

  2. Technology and Change • One of our most important contributions as technology educators is to help learners understand and control technology. • This means teaching them to deal with constant change. • By consistently updating our curriculum, we have an excellent opportunity to teach this skill by example.

  3. New Paradigms for Education • Standards-based Reforms • Business/School Partnerships • Increased Accountability • Implementing New Technologies • Portfolio and Performance-based Assessment • Charter Schools and School Choice • Others

  4. Why does Technology Education need TFAA? • Outline what everyone should know and be able to do • Organize curriculum into relevant paths of logical order • Balance Content and Process • Maintain the nation’s competitive edge ...We must create a foundation throughout the nation for Technology Education for the next century.

  5. What are appropriate steps in utilizing the TFAA guidelines? 1. Develop a Rationale 2. Understand the concepts presented in TFAA, their structure, their purpose, and their interrelationships. 3. Implement the concepts in curriculum development.

  6. The Project “Technology for All Americans” Administered by the International Technology Education Association (ITEA)

  7. Overall Goal To Promote Excellence in Technology Education • Define the domain of Technology • Create Standards • Promote the study of Technology

  8. Timeline Phase I (September, 1994 - September, 1996) Phase II (October, 1996 - December, 1999)

  9. Technology for All Americans: A Rationale and Structure for the Study of Technology PROCESSES KNOWLEDGE (Technological Systems) Designing & Developing Nature and History of Technology Determining & Controlling the Behavior of Technological Concepts and Principles Informational Systems Utilizing Assessing the Impacts & Consequences of Linkages Physical Systems Biological and Chemical Systems CONTEXTS

  10. How are the Universals interrelated? Knowledge Processes All must be properly balanced Contexts

  11. Phase II Development of Standards Focus: Content Standards: What do we want students to know and be able to do?

  12. What standards are NOT…. • A Curriculum • A Test • A Federal Policy • A Federal Mandate

  13. Standards = Guidelines

  14. Format for Developing Standards Universals of Technology Dimensions of Technology 1. Organizational Standards 1.1. 1.1.1. Content Standards Detail Standards 1.1.1.1.

  15. Overview of Standards Universals Dimensions Organizational Content Detail Provide constants for a foundation Identifies processes and knowledge appropriate to the dimensions Recognizes what a student should know about a context.

  16. Process oriented organizational standards…... CONTENT Process Context Knowledge ..have a parallel Knowledge dimension

  17. Example: Paralleling By the end of the twelfth grade, each student will be able to design technological systems. Dimensions of Technology • Processes • Designing and Developing Technological Systems • Determining and Controlling the Behavior of Technological Systems • Utilizing Technological Systems • Assessing the Impacts and Consequences of Technological Systems Knowledge • Nature and Evolution of Technology • Linkages • Technological Concepts and Principles

  18. Example parallel: Process • Students to sketch various network topologies and solve problems concerning the advantages and disadvantages of each (possible computer model) • Installing a Network Interface Card (NIC), (instructor demonstration) • Configuring a Network Interface Card • Joining a workgroup • Sending and receiving electronic mail • Using shared folders and files • Using shared printers

  19. Examples Parallels: Knowledge • Introduction to networks • Review of communication concepts • What is a network? • Why we use networks
