Who's Afraid of CDT?

Abstract

The new band wagon in primary education is Craft Design and Technology. Before it gets too much momentum, we should hold it still to examine more closely what it is that we are being encouraged to jump on. Current conceptions about CDT in primary schools appear to have derived from secondary curriculum practice, for it often seems to be presented in ways that make it easy to think of it as a separate 'subject', or as part of Science.
