ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the origin of “education” and explains how technology works as a catalyst for education. It discusses the various aspects of technology in the field of education. The chapter explores the journey from technology to technology education and the philosophy of technology education. The aim of education is varied based on factors like cultural context, environmental context, personal traits, etc. Technology education or technology as a subject of education is a very recent concept. From the philosophical point of view, technology education functions in two ways; one is in a liberal art context and the second one is in a vocational training context. For example, in Japan, there is no core technology education; in Israel, it's a compulsory subject; in Sweden, it has a humanistic approach; the United States focuses on the context of technology education, etc.
