Abstract
The next generation of science teaching is moving from the explanation of the natural phenomena to the era of creating technology and innovation to solve challenging problems. This article presents the meanings and essential characteristics of the nature of technology: the technological process can result in errors; the difference of technology bases on each area; technology affects environment and society. To address the nature of technology in a science classroom, teachers should engage the students in the engineering design process (EDP) as well as encourage them to explicitly reflect upon the relevant tenets of the nature of technology. There are three common instructional models where EDP is integrated: the SLED model, 6E Learning, and Project-Based Learning. To evaluate student’s learning EDP, the teachers should use authentic assessment and refer to the competencies and indicators in National STEM Standards of Thailand developed by the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology.
