[[alternative]]A Study of The Design And Effect of Engineering-Design Concept Technology Education And Instructional Activities

[[abstract]]The main purpose of this study was to explore the idea and status of middle school engineering-design concept technology education, to develop the instructional strategies and learning activities, and to verify the learning results and reaction of students. The research methodologies of literature review and quasi-experiment were used in this study. The data was collected and analyzed by statistic methods of average, standard division, and ANCOVA. The final results of this study were as follows: 1.For encountering the future challenges of novel technology and engineering, the engineering education could start from middle school level rather than only in higher education level. And, the middle school engineering education should cooperate with technology education to foster students’ engineering-based concept, as engineering-design concept, and so forth. 2.The instructional strategies of middle school engineering-concept technology were a set of instructional steps and process involved with engineering-design concept. 3.The development of curriculum and instructional activities of middle school engineering-design concept technology education should apply the easily-understanding and engineering-related topics in lives. Meanwhile, the design of instructional activities could obey the principles of instructional activities design in technology education. 4.Through engineering-design concept instructional strategies, the experimental group had better learning efficiency. 5.Engineering-design concept instructional strategy is suitable for both genders. 6.The experimental group has well learning reaction from the engineering-design concept instructional strategies.
