The
15th Biennial National/International Conference and
Exhibition of
the Australian
Council for Education through Technology (ACET) Conference
Theme:
Is Technology Education beyond I.T.? The technological knowledge base continues to expand with technology educators increasingly required to deliver a broad range of contemporary technological experiences across both the primary and secondary school curriculum. Science and Technology, Design and Technology, and expanding programs in VET are but a few examples. Unfortunately as part of everyday language, particularly the language of politicians and the mass media, the term ‘technology’ is more often than not used to describe issues associated with I.T. (Information Technology) and not much else. Indeed NSW students will now be required to have their I.T. skills measured. All
this has significant implications for the restricted perception of
technology education in the wider community.
ACET 2002 aims to explore the variety and significance that a
comprehensive technology curriculum can offer to the knowledge, skills
and competency levels of all young people in a modern society. In particular the conference aims to develop an inclusive rationale for technology education in the school curriculum that could be used to convince politicians, industry leaders and the wider community that a study of the material world, and the artefacts produced to support society is as important to the development of young people as a knowledge of information technology.
