dialectical methodology, as part of an inquiry based
pedagogy, can increase technological understanding within
the design process. Vygotsky sees the development of society
as a synthesis of life experience with taught concepts.
Technology and its relationship with society will be
considered in a case study carried out within the Scottish
technology curriculum, where the concept of ergonomics was
studied. Current practice in Scotland is explored, and a
neo-Vygotskian approach is discussed.
