Making “Technology Education” More Valuable by Using Design Thinking

Mohammad Asif Pasha

Abstract


Teachers' lesson plans and the written and unwritten curricula they teach reflect a social current that influences students' education. This social dynamic is reflected in the categorization and hierarchy of school subjects in the classroom instruction. Secondary school topics and their related status grew increasingly widespread throughout the Industrial Revolution. It has a huge influence on our perspective of educational courses and how important they are, given this historical backdrop. Many students now prioritize some courses above others because of the significance of the subject content. Literacy in language and numeracy in mathematics and science are always at the top of the list in this paradigm. How current are “The Technologies”? We need to consider whether or not Australia's education system can be used to mold the minds of future students in the best possible way while the country's education system is being restructured. What curriculum is called “The Technologies” a part of? As part of “The Technologies,” we focus on teaching creative thinking and problem solving as well as practical learning and research. Students will be able to continue learning throughout their lives as a result. Educators throughout the globe believe that educating pupils to think creatively is just as important as teaching them to read and do arithmetic. Because of this, why is technology taught in Australia with such a lack of respect? Examining the present state of Australian education through the prism of The Technologies, this study will identify the current position of the Australian educational system and analyze the reasons of this. “The Technologies” will be explained in terms of how a problem grows to prominence in the community, and the authors will provide strategies to boost the profile of the book in both classrooms and the broader public. Technology, Design and Science and Engineering and the Hierarchy of Subjects Creativity, Identity as a teacher and critical thinking abilities.
