As our modem society is so obviously influenced by technology,
there is a growing awareness of its importance for education. The
interest for including technology as a part of general education
curricula is increasing. In many countries technology is an element
in the curriculum either as a topic, a project, part of a
Science-Technology-Society (STS) programme, part of science
education, or as a separate subject. In order to clarify what
technology is, there is a need for international discussions in
which philosophers, engineers, scientists and educational ists are
involved. One of the few conferences with such a broad
representation was the second Jerusalem International Science and
Technology Education Conference (JISTEC) that was held in
Jerusalem, January 8-11, 1996, a conference that can truly be seen
as a milestone in the international history of technology
education. More than 1,000 technology educators from more than 80
countries of the world and ministers of education from 28 coun
tries came together to discuss current issues in technology
education during JlSTEC. To cite from Dr. Michael Dyrenfurth's
personal overview of the conference in the Journal of Industrial
Teacher Education (vol. 33, no. 2, Winter 1996, pp. 83-85): 'Simply
put, this conference represented the most stellar international
collection of technology education advocates the world has ever
seen in one place'. Or in the words of Dr."
