Comparative Analysis of Research Priorities for Technology Education
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study compares and contrasts the most relevant research priorities identified through two Delphi studies by the authors.  The panels of experts used in these studies, an international and a U.S. study group, were asked to identify important topics to guide future research studies for the school subject of technology education. Both panels sought to determine the most relevant issues that need to be researched related to K-12 technology education and preparation for teaching this school subject. This study reports the similarities of research priorities identified by both expert panels, then contrasts the major differences that the groups identified for further research.Â
