Thesis (M.Tech. degree in Education) -- Tshwane University of Technology, 2009 / The study made the following findings: All the results clearly indicated how the four (4) challenges discussed affected each school and the areas in which they are situated. Some educators were not quite equipped with the content knowledge to teach the Technology learning area. There were however, some educators with adequate content knowledge to teach Technology. The training received by educators was insufficient because it introduced them to Technology content within a short space of time. The shortage of resources has made educators rely on old methods of teaching whereby, textbooks and chalkboards were used. Urban schools are however happy with their resources. There is an obvious difference between the Technology taught in the General Education and Training (GET) Band and what the learners learn at Further Education and Training FET Band. Large classes contribute to the attitudes of learners having a lack of interest in the teaching and learning of Technology. This is caused by lack of adequate and appropriate resources to use during the lesson. The ignorance of some communities in technology hinders schools from getting assistance in the teaching and learning of Technology. Hence this study confirmed that there are constraints and challenges in teaching and learning Technology, at senior phase.
