The purpose of this case study is to examine how pupils in Elementary School (ages 8-9) use critical reflection to solve a technical problem in a technology lesson. Our theory is based on Rodgers’ (2002) interpretation of John Dewey’s thoughts about reflective thinking, as expressed in his books How We Think (1910/1933a) and Experience & Education (1938). We used a method-combination to collect data by audio recording, and by observation with note taking during a technology class where six groups each solved a technical problem. The results show that all groups used critical reflection to solve a technological problem, but further research is required to confirm that critical reflection is generally used by elementary school pupils in technology class to help solve technology problems.
