DAY 2: Translating the concept of ’Technological Literacy’ - from STEM to nursing and

teaching

9.00-9.10 Presentations (of new participants)

9.10-11.00 Presentations of preliminary findings in the field: schools and hospitals: selected

cases by e.g. Cathrine Hasse, Jamie Wallace, Ulrik Brandi, Bjarke Lindsø Andersen, AK

Soffer, Jeanette Wassar Kirk.

Jamie and Ulrik prepare a case with three different situations.

group (in SMARTBOARD-room) and nurse-group (in A214 with simulation tools) with

practitioners.

Relate work to: 1) Text by Garmire, 2) Text by Chaiklin, 3) Text by Dreyfuss/Schraube +

definitions of technological literacy + + ideas for at teaching tool + measurement of the

effect of a teaching tool.

of technological literacy of future technology. Work in school-group (in SMARTBOARD-

room) and nurse-group (in A214 with simulation tools) with practitioners.

Relate work to: 1) Text by Garmire, 2) Text by Chaiklin, 3) Text by Dreyfuss/Scraube +

definitions of technological literacy + ideas for at teaching tool + measurement of the

effect of a teaching tool + DTU-future perspectives.

Relate work to: 1) Text by Garmire, 2) Text by Chaiklin, 3) Text by Dreyfuss + definitions of

technological literacy + + ideas for at teaching tool + DTU-future perspectives +

measurement of the effect of a teaching tool.

15.00-16.00 Presentations of designed proto/or provo-type teaching tools meeting the

challenges of developing a teaching tool for teaching technological literacy in future

teaching and nursing education.
