Description

First published in 1991, Understanding Technology in Education examines the role of technology in education, being the first to connect the social nature of technology with the education and training of young people. The book highlights the diverse ways in which technologies are shaped by social forces, rather than existing solely as physical artifacts. It explores the pivotal role of technology in transforming work organization and society at large. Through a series of case studies, the chapters present a wide range of analytical perspectives, spanning economistic, feminist, and cultural viewpoints. This volume serves as the foundation of a trilogy, which also includes Technological Literacy and the Curriculum and Computers into Classrooms.
