Abstract

For about two decades, there has been a growing awareness that technology should have a position in the school curriculum in order to prepare students for our increasingly technologically-oriented society. In many countries, technology exists either as a separate subject or inegrated with others, at both the primary and secoondary levels. Based on the nature of technology and technological knowledge, and the objectives of technology curricula in England and Wales, Australia and United States of America, five basic objectives of school technology are suggested. The General Studies syllabus for Hong Kong primary schools is then analysed to find out how technology education will be implemented through it.
