teaching materials for technology education

teaching materials for technology education

government announced the revision of the teaching guidelines for junior high schools, which are to be fully enacted in April 2012. According to the new guideline for the subject of Technology Education, “measurement and control by programming”, “growth of living things”, and “energy transformation”, which had previously been elective topics, are to become mandatory. Therefore, it will be necessary to develop compound teaching materials that can be used to teach these topics. In this research, we developed practical teaching material synthesizing these topics. The developed teaching material is an automatic watering system in which soil water is measured and used as feedback to control the watering mechanism. As a preliminary test before introducing this teaching material in junior high schools, we administered mock lessons to university students five times. The average scores for all the question items improved after the lesson, and the improvement was particularly remarkable for the questions about acquiring knowledge.

Last year the school boards had 5.9 million euros of their budgets left over at the end of the year. In 2017 it was just over 106 million euros, Trouw reports based on figures from education executive agency DUO. Schools' tendency to not use their complete budget led to criticism last year. Ministers Ingrid van Engelshoven of Education, Culture and Science and Arie Slob for Primary- and Secondary Education called the left-over amount remarkable, given the fact that the education sector was demanding extra money to lower teachers' workloads.

The Education Inspectorate wrote a report stating that school boards are far too conser...
