  3. Pig Personality Profile

  4. Pig Personality Profile On a blank piece of 8½ x 11 paper, draw a pig Don't look at your neighbors' pigs Don't even glance Time’s Up! You have 3 minutes…. You have 2 minutes…. You have 1 minute…. You have 10 seconds….

  5. Pig Personality Profile If the pig is drawn . . . Toward the top of the paper, you are a positive, optimistic person. Toward the middle of the paper, you are a realist. Toward the bottom of the paper, you are a pessimist and have a tendency to be negative. Facing left, you are traditional, friendly, and good at remembering dates, including birthdays. Facing forward (or angled forward), you are direct, enjoy playing "the devil's advocate,“ and neither fear nor avoid discussions. Facing right, you are innovative and active but do not have a strong sense of family, and you are not good at remembering dates. With many details, you are analytical, cautious, and distrustful. With few details, you are emotional and naive, care little for details, and are a risk-taker. With four legs showing, you are secure and stubborn, and you stick to your ideals. With less than four legs, you are insecure or are going through a period of major change. With large ears, you are a good listener. The larger the ears, the better listener you are. And, last but not least…the longer the pig’s tail you have drawn, the more satisfied you are with the quality of romance in your life!

  7. Introduction to the basics • Can we categorize the objects around us? • Useful definitions • Connection between technology and science and techniques • Connection between science and technology and techniques • How science, technology and techniques are interrelated • Technological processes • Science and Technology program: The role of technology

  9. Useful Definitions Technology « An organized body of scientific and technical knowledge and skills used to design, produce, maintain and repair objects that facilitate human existence. » (CDP) « Technology is human innovation in action. It draws on knowledge and processes to develop systems that solve problems and extend human capabilities. » (Technology for All Americans Project, USA, p. 16) « Technology is the practical approach that has enabled the human species to surmount its animal existence through its ability to act and create its own habitats, food resources, conditions for comfort and the means to safeguard health, get around and communicate. » And « Technology is an orderly process whereby various materials, energy and natural phenomena are used for human purposes. » (Black, Harrison/COPRET Report, France, p. 93 and 94). « Technology is the field of knowledge and activities that involves designing and creating objects and systems. » (Dictionnaire de l’Éducation, Legendre, Québec, p.1335)

  10. Useful Definitions Science « The sum of human knowledge about nature, society and thought, acquired through the discovery of objective laws of phenomena and their explanation. » (Larousse) Techniques « All procedures and methods related to an art or trade. » (Larousse) Technical Object « A technical object is an object made up of one or several components (e.g. organs, information, energy, substances) arranged in a functional manner by human imagination and ingenuity to meet one or more specific needs. » (CDP)

  11. Connection Between Technologyand Science and Techniques

  12. Connection Between Scienceand Technology and Techniques

  13. How Science, Technology and Techniques Skills Are Interrelated

  14. Technological Processes Design (synthesis) Analysis (explanation) Existing Technical object Need to be met Application of: Explanation using: Scientific knowledge Scientific knowledge Technical knowledge and skills Technical knowledge and skills Technical object (function) Need to be met APPLICATION EXPLANATION

  15. Technology fosters the development of allcross-curricular competenciesand is particularly suited to certainbroad areas of learning.
