Abstract | Technology education is an excellent format to integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) studies by employing problem-based learning activities. However, the benefits of technology education are still generally "misunderstood by the public." The effects of technology education on increased student mathematics abilities have been identified in several studies. It is evident that technology education is beneficial in raising student technological literacy and core academic success. However the supply of technology education teachers produced in the United States has not met the increased demand. This article highlights the critical need of technology education teachers in the United States and suggests that if the technology education profession is to survive, the time for action to ensure that survival is now. Recommendations are offered to mitigate the shortage of technology education teachers in the United States. (Contains 3 figures and 1 table.) (ERIC). |
