Abstract

<p> The purpose of this study is to develop a teaching method to foster decision-making skills related to technology and to verify the effectiveness of said teaching method in practice in technology education. Referring to the qualitative and capacity composition of technology education, we created a framework for decision-making related to technology, including the following steps: “analysis of the constraint condition,” “evaluation of the solution,” “the comparison and examination of the solutions,” and “the determination of the solution". Based on this framework, we developed a teaching method that enables the user to analyze constraint conditions in technological problems. Using this teaching method, we planned a technology lesson that involved the following decision-making scenario: “to select communications methods to use on the Internet.” Having put this method into practice in technology classes with 172 students, the learning evaluation was mostly positive within the predetermined evaluation criteria. In addition, the correct answer rate of survey questions improved after the technology classes, which led the researchers to conclude that the developed teaching method contributed to the nurturing of decision-making skills related to technology. </p><p></p>
