Application of an analytical framework to describe young students' learning in technology

Abstract

This paper discusses a framework for describing and analysing how young students (5–6 years) learn in technology with a view towards enhancing teaching and learning practice in technology. Examples of student work which demonstrate the complexity of learning in technology, and what young children can achieve with appropriate teaching strategies are presented. Holistic aspects as well as associated variables are highlighted.
