Abstract | This paper examines the curricular progression from manual training to technology, with particular emphasis on the problem of achieving legitimization, and on the rhetorics of justification employed by advocates at key junctures in the metamorphosis of the subject as they sought to address the problem of clearing and solidifying a space in the curriculum for their subject... This paper considers the following themes: first, just what is "technology" (or technology education) as a school subject. Second, the attendant difficulties, and the rhetorics of justification employed in the quest to establish manual training, the original form of the subject in the American public school curriculum, will be examined, taking into account the nascent progressivism that attended the period. Third, the impact of vocationalism on the shape of the subject and its positioning will be discussed, including the name change to "industrial arts", and the emergence of the junior high school as an arena for the teaching of the subject. Fourth, the emergence of technology as curriculum and the continuing struggle to move from industrial arts to technology education will be discussed, with attention paid to the claim of technological literacy.
