A Systems Approach for Developing Technological Literacy

In order to examine the implications of applying a teaching strategy that integrates a systems approach and project-based learning (PBL), it was implemented in two courses. The objective of the first course was to train preservice teachers to teach the subject of “science and technology for all.” The second course was an introductory freshman course in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Thi...
