Abstract [en]
How does a teacher convey technological understanding through interactions with learners?
A case study is performed using a stimulated-recall methodology with one teacher in a limited Technology learning module in grade 8. Based on the official syllabus and local interpretations, what in fact occurs in the meeting with pupils is discussed regarding how technology is portrayed by the teacher.
An important result is what messages about technology the teacher is expecting the pupils to understand from each lesson. In order to get appropriate feedback, selected pupils are interviewed about their impressions of the lesson.
