기술교육에서 통합적인 노력에 대한 연구 경향: 관련 학술지의 고찰 = Research Trends on the Integrative Efforts in Technology Education: Reviews of the Relevant Journals

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the research being conducted by those in the field of technology education in an attempt to guide future research into efforts to integrate technology, science, and mathematics education. A mixed methods design was used to analyze four major journals of technology education. Three stages of preparation, quantitative review, and qualitative review were performed. In the preparation stage, the researchers identified four major journals in the technology education field and selected forty journal articles. Using a content analysis table, three researchers reviewed the forty journal articles and completed both quantitative and qualitative reviews. The findings in the quantitative review stage were presented based on three categories of integration type, research methodology, and research data sources. Based on these findings, four research topics were discussed in the qualitative review stage. Historically, technology education has had a strong philosophical foundation and extensive experience in implementing integrative curricula or courses. In the literature surveyed, these efforts were presented as science and technology and science, technology, and math, as balanced research methods, and as the data sources students` perspectives and literature. For more efficient integration among science, technology, and mathematics, active collaborative research and practice are both needed. Also, a meta-analytic review of the integrative efforts of other disciplines(science education and mathematics education) should be performed.
