Abstract
In 2002 a joint seminar ‘Developing and celebrating good practice in primary Design and Technology’ (Nuffield Foundation, Design and Technology Association and the Centre for Research in Primary Technology (CRIPT)) formed the impetus for this research. One of the recommendations from the seminar was that a small working party of key players should develop a research framework and plan co-operative research activity utilising school and university links across participating universities.
