Thestatements about their relationship to technology were a part of an electronic questionnaireabout the beginning of the engineering studies, presented to the group at the end of the firstsemester in autumn 2017. The second group comprised upper secondary school students whoattended a university course in Basic Electronics in three consecutive years from 2017 to2019 (Group B, N=101). These students were motivated to study this technology-relatedtopic but did not necessarily intend to pursue a career in engineering. The course wasvoluntary, and the participants were awarded both university and upper secondary schoolcredits for the completion of the course. The questions were a part of the feedbackquestionnaire of the course. In the first

The author examined the students’ capabilities using ten writingassignments spread over a fifteen weeks’ semester. Details about data collection methodologyis described below. While grading these assignments, the author classified and separated the 38students in to four groups according to the specifications identified by the Gregorc StyleDelineator model. Grading was holistic and utilized the five point Likert Scale which is shownin Appendix B. The data collected have been tabulated, graphed and analyzed. Conclusionswere drawn based on the data collected, to

The nine articles in Handbook 4 and others presented to the Divisionmay be taken as the beginning of a search for such a philosophy. Technological literacy willnot survive without such a philosophy.
