Research Abstract

Technology education, along with the development of the Industrial Revolution which had started in England, pursued a very similar course of its development in England, the United States, and Germany. In Germany, for example, technology education as a vocational preparation for students was done, and in England technology education which dealt with the application and practice of science held its own against the academic pure science education. Still in the United States, technology education developed rapidly in the vocational school since 20th century.
Scientce education and technology education, thus, were conceived as a different subject each, and one line was drawn between science education and technology education for vocational preparation. There are, however, several differences between the two. For example, the nation intervened in the developmental process of technology education in the United States and Germany, but in England did not. The interface between science and technology education was not been discussed in 19th century, when science education had not hold its legal place in school curriculum.
Nowadays, in the industrialized and information society which developed rapidly, new definition is given to technology education. That is, technology education is defined not as a subject which teach how to make anything, as a one which do how to solve technological problems. Thus, the science- technology interface have a basis on this ground.
