online resource
posted on 2008-02-12, 16:42 authored by Kin Wai Michael SiuThe impact of new technology on teaching and learning in
technology education is undeniable. Whether it results in
opportunities or threats is an important question for us to
study. The development of technology education in Hong
Kong, a city lacking natural resources and whose
development relies heavily on industrial production and
economic activity, provides a good opportunity for us to
gain an understanding of the relationship between
technological and educational changes. This paper reviews
the background and development of technology education in
Hong Kong. By tracing the changes of technology education
since the 1930s, and introducing the most recent education
policy ‘Education Reform’, the paper explores the impacts
of technological factors on teaching and learning in
technology education. This paper further discusses the
opportunities and threats which Hong Kong technology
education has faced during several generations of change,
as well as those it will face in the future.
