Scientific and Technical Visualization in Technology Education
Ernst, Jeremy V.; Clark, Aaron C.
Technology Teacher, v66 n8 p16-20 May-Jun 2007
In this article, the authors discusses Visualization in Technology Education (VisTE). VisTE units are designed to enhance students' knowledge in science, develop good visual and presentation skills, understand emerging technologies, and most of all help with the integration of standards that promote technological literacy. Technological changes are increasing in rate and impact and therefore, more than in any other discipline, technology educators are constantly challenged with providing instruction on technologies that are new and ever changing. Meeting these challenges requires technology educators to master new topical material and develop instructional practices that facilitate students' learning of emerging technologies in ways that promote technological literacy. The VisTE units of instruction provide teachers the opportunity to be successful by integrating cross-curricular, project-based, and problem-based learning. Students are able to make connections to math, science, and technology while enhancing their understanding of the concepts embedded in the VisTE scientific visualization activities. (Contains 4 tables.)
