Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"The new Kimbell and Stables book ... deals with technology education only. ... I would like to recommend ... warmly to all researchers in technology education. ... There are three Parts. In Part 1 the underlying philosophical position of the research group is explained. Part 2 consists of project descriptions. Part 3 discusses 'emerging issues and understanding'. ... can be seen as milestones in the (relatively short) history of technology education research. ... excellent contributions to their respective book series."
