A Philosophical Framework for Enhancing the Understanding of Artefacts in the Technology Classroom

Abstract: Technology teachers should have a sound understanding and knowledge of artefacts in order to assist learners in the designing, making, and evaluating of artefacts. Unfortunately, technology teachers in South African schools seem to have a poor grasp of the complexity of this important part of knowledge that is specific to technology. As a result, many technology teachers are unable to support learners in designing and making artefacts that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and have utility value outside … Show more

“…According to Mngunikazi (2014), teachers should be able to assist learners with Mini-PAT, provided they possess the knowledge and capacity to teach. Moreover, Rauscher (2016) posits that teachers require sound understanding of objects (artefacts) in particular, knowledge about artefacts to be able to support their learners in the designing and making of artefacts that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and have utility value outside of the classroom. Regrettably, this is not the case; hence, Rauscher (2016) further argues that "some Technology teachers in South African schools seem to have a poor grasp of the complexity of this important part of knowledge about artifacts specific to Technology".…”

In line with the study, the findings showed that teachers minimally understand precisely what is expected of them regarding design process facilitation.…”
