Criterion F: Attitudes in Technology

Objectives:

This objective goes beyond technology and refers to encouraging attitudes and dispositions that will contribute to students’ development as caring and responsible individuals and members of society.

This objective is set in the context of the technology class (and it is also present in MYP sciences as “Attitudes in science”) but will pervade other subjects and life outside school. It includes notions of safety and responsibility when working in technology as well as respect for and collaboration with others and their shared environment.
