L’organisation des curricula d’éducation technologique dans différents pays européens : approche comparative et impact du point de vue du genre

Abstract

Girls are moving to technology education and careers less than boys. This paper attempts to summarize the inputs provided on the question of the relationship between gender and cur-riculum and gender-class practices within the European project UPADTE (Understanding and Providing a Developmental Approach to Technology Education). It focuses on two as-pects: a description of the organization and content prescribed for different levels in different countries (Austria, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Romania, Slovakia, Scotland, Spain) and a description of what emerges from the most significant elements contained in the case studies proposed to promote the development of education technology which encourages girls.
