Technology Understanding - Denmark

'Technology Understanding' (Teknologiforstaelse) is a three-year pilot programme of the Danish ministry of Children and Education focused on introducing a 'Technology Understanding' as a new subject in primary and lower secondary education (age 6-16, ISCED level 1 and 2). The new Informatics subject is divided into four interconnected 'areas of competence'. 

The three-year (2018-2021) pilot will test the introduction of the new subject in two different configurations (as a stand-alone subject and integrated into existing subjects) in around 5% of Danish schools, after which the results of the pilot will be evaluated.
