Pedagogers förutsättningar att bedriva teknikundervisning enligt läroplanen

Sammanfattning: Technology has only been a mandatory school subject in Sweden since the 1980s, and it has no tradition on its own as to didactics and content. This makes it hard for teachers to practice equivalent teaching in agreement with the curriculum. In 2018, The Swedish National Agency for Education revised the curriculum and allocated specific hours to strengthen the position of the Subject of Technology. Our purpose with this systematic research overview is to see what has been written about the possibilities or challenges for technology teachers to work according to the curriculum. We have searched for peer-reviewed articles in two databases, SwePub and ERIC, to cover both national and international research. This resulted in many articles about the internal factors such as teachers’ perceptions about the subject and its content, but not that many articles about the more practical circumstances surrounding the teaching situation. Our conclusion is that the already engaged teachers with interests and confidence in Technology will focus on the subject in their teaching, and at the same time they can play a big part in helping more insecure colleagues. The external factors such as economy, allocated hours, and the school facilities are still invisible in the research area but would be interesting to look at more thoroughly.
