摘要：Technology subjects are a relatively recent addition to the discipline offerings at postprimary
level, and have a short but interesting history in terms of associated educational
research. In this paper, an overview of the evolving research agendas that emerged in
response to the nature of practice, from the perspectives of the Technology Education
Research Unit (TERU) and the Technology Education Research Group (TERG) is presented. A
chronological account of their research activities is provided, demonstrating the
perspectives, paradigms and foundations of their research endeavours. The purpose of this
paper is to provoke reflection on the past, present and future of technology education
research and practice, using both TERG and TERU for narrative purposes. Therefore, this
paper concludes by sharing the evolution of research in TERU and TERG, so as to help
consider and shape the future of relevant, contemporary, and progressive research activity.
