As stated in the Secondary School Curriculum, Forms 1-3

(September, 2008), Technology Education is allotted four

(4) periods in a one week cycle.

Two double periods or 1 triple and a single period

TECNOLOGY

EDUCATION

This requires careful planning by the Head/s of Department so as to ensure

that all students from Forms One to Three have been adequately exposed

to the skill areas under the umbrella of Technology Education over the

three year period.

This is dependent on the school’s environment, resources, class sizes, teacher

skills and specialized rooms.

TECNOLOGY

EDUCATION

Decisions are therefore dependent on the school’s

resources,

class sizes,

available skills teachers

specialized rooms.

TECNOLOGY

EDUCATION

Tech Ed teachers are reminded that they are delivering the curriculum within their given subject content but using the Technology Education methodology: The IDEATE Model.

The Curriculum can be delivered so that it is the building block for the Form Four and Five Curriculum in the given subject content.

TECNOLOGY

EDUCATION

Large classes may be split between two teachers of different subject content, e.g. Food and Nutrition and IT. At mid-term the teachers switch groups and repeat the activity with the new group OR teachers may alternate terms.

All subject content under the umbrella of Technology Education are to be allocated periods for delivery of the curriculum.
