Valid points raised concerning D&T curriculum. I’d add the trivialisation of specialist manual disciplines, histories, and skills; the functionalist reduction of the creative/design process.

Enjoyed reading and discussing a chapter from @hardy_alison latest book, Debates in Design and Technology. In Monday’s D&T book club, (@teacherofdesign ), we discussed cognitive theories linked to Design and Technology, a very thought provoking read and chat #dandt #teaching

I studied Design Technology at GCSE and A-Level. I loved it and It’s been vital training for my career. Dyson is absolutely right, the 40% decline in DT is bad news. To compete globally we need engineers. @DTassoc

On one hand, it’s great to see so many students performing well in #DT this year, after a turbulent couple of years 👍👏 On the other, it is shocking to see 2022 has had a decrease of 12,400 students studying the #gcse compared to 2019 😱😠
Replying to @JohnGRoberts
In design and technology, 26.8% secured the top three grades, a fall of 3.3 percentage points on 2021 when TAGs were used but up significantly on 2019 when less than one in five students achieved this.
