Looking Back in Order to Move Forward

Being a fairly young school subject, technology education has yet to attain a firm position in the curriculum. Therefore, there is a need for a retrospective look at earlier developments in order to understand why and how the current position was achieved (cf. Karlsson, 2004). David Layton suggests that the subject of technology in the school has developed by balancing “a range of competing influences”, and that a number of “stakeholders” have been and still are important for its evolution (Layton, 1994, p. 13).
