Reviews for The Bloomsbury Handbook of Technology Education

The book offers comprehensive and elucidating intermix of conceptual and empirical ideas. Lucid, reflexive contributions from international scholars offer contemporary positioning of literature and research across the global contexts. A valuable resource for furthering research, development and practice pursuits in technology education. * Ritesh Khunyakari, Associate Professor in Education, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, India * I would highly recommend the Handbook of Technology Education, for anyone looking to get a true global picture how technology education is practiced around the world. Divided into four major sections, the handbook looks at conceptualizing technology education, technology education in the curriculum, pedagogy for technology education, and technology, education, and society as seen through the lens of 35 contributors, representing 28 institutions, from 14 countries spanning 5 continents. * Edward M. Reeve, Professor Emeritus in Technology and Engineering Education, Utah State University, USA; Senior STEM-Ed. Specialist, Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO), Thailand * In this handbook, leading scholars explore past, current and future developments in Technology Education. In a time when technology education is in decline, this book offers refreshing views on the rationale for technology education. The chapters are responsive to a broad range of stakeholder needs in Technology education. * Nicolaas Blom, Lecturer of Technology Education, University of Limerick, Ireland *
