The development of subject knowledge by student teachers
has been a key part of initial teacher education courses for
design and technology. Since 1995 there have been subject
specific competences which students have been expected to
address. With a changing curriculum in secondary schools it
was felt timely to reflect on their relevance. This paper explores
the background to the competences, undertakes a brief critical
review of their content and reviews employer requirements in
relation to fields of knowledge. The paper concludes by
highlighting a number of issues to be addressed and possible
consequences of dropping the design and technology
association competences as a guiding document and the need
for future research.
