Technology Education Research Unit
APU 1988 Design and Technology: Products and systems for the environment - Growing places
The Technology Education Research Unit (TERU) was founded in 1990 at Goldsmiths College University of London. The unit focuses on understanding how design and technology works in schools; how to encourage learners towards creative interventions that improve the made world; and how to help teachers to support that process.
Learning in and through designing activities has features that make it unusual in the curriculum and enable it to contribute positively and uniquely to the education of young people. The research and development that TERU has undertaken has been informed by this belief and has sought to throw light onto the traditions and practices of teaching and learning in design and technology workshops, studios and classrooms around the world.
