Technology Education is a design problem solving course. Technology education is designed for all students in grade 7. Since technology education facilities and resources vary throughout the province, the course is designed to offer some selection to schools as to the modules of study.
There are four modules in the course. Each module has a set of specific learning outcomes that are designed to be addressed through project- based learning or problem solving activities. Students will have an opportunity to create design solutions as a way of achieving outcomes in each of the modules. Students will achieve outcomes through the design challenge approach which requires the use of the Design Process. In doing so, students engage in solving technological problems that apply to authentic situations. Students in grade 7 will best engage in their learning when they have an opportunity to learn standing up and apply their learning in the real world. The modules that comprise the Technology Education 7 are: Communications Technology, Energy Engineering, Inventions and Innovations, Production Technology.
