1.1 In a table format (not less than 4 points), clearly distinguish
between technology and technology education concepts. In each
case give one example indicating the role these concepts play in
your society (present your answers in bullet form). (12)
Technology:
- Relates to the use of tools, techniques, and processes that are
designed to solve practical problems or improve existing systems.
- Involves the application of knowledge and skills to create products,
services, and systems that meet human needs.
- Affects all areas of society including healthcare, transportation,
education, communication, and entertainment.
- Example: Mobile phones are a technology that has revolutionized
the way we communicate. They have become an integral part of our
daily lives and have enabled us to stay connected with friends and
family, conduct business, and access information anywhere and
anytime.
Technology Education:
- Refers to the study of technology and its impact on society.
- Covers various subjects such as engineering, computer science,
sustainability, and digital literacy.
- Aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to
use technology effectively and responsibly.
- Example: Many schools offer technology education programs that
provide students with hands-on experiences with robotics,
programming, and digital media. These programs help students
develop problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and creativity, which
are all essential for success in the 21st century.
1.2 Consider the following time periods:
, • Ancient civilisation
• 21st century
In each time period, based on your understanding of the differences
between the time periods:
a) write a paragraph of five lines in each time period.
Ancient civilisation was characterized by the emergence of great
empires, such as the Greek, Roman, and Egyptian empires. These
empires were sustained by powerful Kings and Emperors who held
immense power over their subjects. Communications were primarily
done through spoken word and hieroglyphics, making information
dissemination a challenge. Despite this, ancient civilisations were
known for their impressive feats of architecture, engineering, and art
that still exist today.
In contrast, the 21st century is heavily influenced by technological
advancements such as smartphones, computers, and the internet. In
today's world, information can be disseminated in real-time, across
different continents through social media platforms and other online
communication channels. As a result, people are more connected
today, causing larger and more diverse communities to emerge.
Furthermore, in this era, there is an increasing focus on equal rights,
sustainable development, and an awareness of the impacts of past
societal biases. Despite some challenges, the advancements in this
era make it the most exciting time in human history.
b) locate the time period in your own context.
Locating the time period in our own context:
Ancient civilisation could be located in the distant past, around 3000
BCE to 500 BCE, and includes periods such as the Mesopotamian,
Egyptian, and Indus River valley civilizations. These periods are
characterized by the development of agriculture, the formation of
early city-states, and the emergence of early technology.
The 21st century is happening right now and started on January 1,
2001, and will end on December 31, 2100. This century is
