Teaching practical skills
Technology education is instruction in the design, use, and understanding of technological systems—from simple tools to complex machines and digital platforms.
Distinguished from vocational training, it emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, and understanding how technology shapes society: The curriculum includes technology education alongside traditional subjects.
In schools, it often involves hands-on projects where students build, program, or engineer solutions.
