AbstractFor about two decades, there has been a growing awareness that technology should have a position in the school curriculum in order to prepare students for the increasingly technologically-oriented society. In many countries, technology exists either as a separate subject or integrated with others, at both the primary and secondary levels. Based on the nature of technology and technological knowledge, and the objectives of technology curricula in England and Wales, Australia and United States of America, five basic objectives of school technology are suggested. The General Studies syllabus for Hong Kong primary schools is analysed in this article to find out how technology education will be implemented through it.
