Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to examine the curriculum development in technological education by the neuroeducational approach. Our research indicated that clumsiness results in a decline of intrinsic motivation in manufacturing activities. In addition, clumsiness derived inefficient operation, e.g., the positions of elbow were variable when hitting a nail with a hammer. We also examined cerebral activities while using tools for woodworking. As results, cerebral activity increased when participants were instructed to operate accurately compared to non-instruction. Also, cerebral activity occurred even though it was the observation of others action. There results suggest that the curriculum development based on neurological evidence might be important.
