摘要：Design and Technology (D&T) is a relatively new subject in Singapore secondary schools. The subject is not yet well-received and the reasons have not been investigated systematically. Therefore, to understand pupils’ views of D&T analytically, a survey was conducted in November 2002. A total of 982 responses to a two-page questionnaire from cohorts of secondary 1 to 3 pupils from 16 different schools were collected and analysed. In the questionnaire, pupils were asked to rate 20 statements relating to D&T delivery in secondary schools against a Likert scale. In addition, there were four short questions to allow pupils to express their views and perceptions of D&T in their own words. Pupils’ views were collected, categorised and compared with their academic levels, academic ability streams, and genders as well as schools. Overall, the responses consistently indicated a positive attitude towards D&T. This paper highlights some of the preliminary research findings of pupils’ perceptions in D&T.
