Problem-based Learning: An Appropriate Methodology for Technology Education.

Abstract This article describes an innovative teaching project that has been implemented for training technology teachers. It is the purpose of the paper initially to present a rationale for using a problem‐based learning (PBL) collaborative methodology in technology teacher training. This includes a historical background, a description of the present situation and the identification of possible future trends. The methodology is described that was developed for the project, with the technological context to which the methodology is applied, namely solar energy as the source of power for a commercially viable product. A model has been developed for the project, including the strategies used in implementation, the stimuli used to sustain student interest, and methods of assessment. The evaluation of the programme examines the extent to which the objectives have been achieved and the potential role of the approach in technology education.
