| Abstract: | In this paper we report on our experience of working collaboratively as part of the Technological Literacy: Implications for teaching and learning national research project in New Zealand. Moira is the researcher ’on the ground’ in the Auckland/Northland region and Jude is the principal of an urban full primary school (year 1-8 or age 5-12) participating in the research project.
Jude responded positively to the initial invitation in 2010 to be a part of this research, with a clear statement of intent that she wanted her school to be ’the best technology primary school in New Zealand’. Realising the challenge in this, Moira and Jude have worked with a core group of staff to develop their subject matter knowledge (SMK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK).
The key focus of this paper is on the shifting of teacher understanding related to technology subject knowledge as outlined in the New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2007) and the subsequent development of PCK. The impact of these shifts on the delivery and impact of technology programmes to date are also discussed in terms of student learning. |
