Design and technology, as a relatively new subject, has sparked widespread debate within schools. This book aims to delve into these discussions and present fresh perspectives on the subject by examining and challenging arguments regarding the purpose, content, and place of design and technology in the school curriculum. It encourages readers to critically reflect on their beliefs and practices, enabling them to form informed judgments and develop perspectives that will shape their teaching and thinking about design and technology.

In this comprehensive second edition, the book addresses the major challenges faced by design and technology teachers, while also introducing new topics that may be unfamiliar to them. With 16 chapters dedicated to emerging and enduring debates, the book provides a comprehensive exploration of the field.

Some of the key debates explored include:

How do we address race in design and technology education?
What makes design and technology unique?
