| Abstract: | The article focuses on the "Project Probase" which was conceived to address the shortage of standards-based technology education curricula at the upper high school level. The new standards provide professional members with a structure and framework for future curriculum development efforts. One such effort is Project Probase. This project, funded by the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education program, is creating a standards-based technology education curriculum targeted for 11th and 12th grade students. The curriculum is designed to prepare the students for post-secondary education in engineering or other technical fields through a series of complex, context-based technological problems. Technology education programs designed to impact students at the 11-12th Grade levels, however, are struggling for a focus and direction. There is a serious gap between the general technological literacy curricular emphasis and the curriculum developed for the post-secondary professional and technician-oriented programs. |
