Talking D&T

TD&T063 Part 3 History of D&T

March 15, 2021 Dr Alison Hardy Episode 63

Send me a message.

This is part 3 of my history of D&T. 

Some questions for you to think about:

  • In your context, who has the power, urgency and legitimacy to influence or change the value, purpose and nature of D&T education?
  • If you don't have all 3 of these characteristics (power, urgency and legitimacy), who do you need to collaborate with?
  • How are you sharing your D&T practitioner research with the wider education community?
  • Who do you think has the power, urgency and legitimacy at national (macro), local (meso) and classroom (micro) level?
