Teaching and learning the correct methods of using processes and material is essential to obtaining competency and hence maximum benefit and enjoyment.
This requires knowing not only the physical principles upon which the process relies but also the predictable properties of the materials involved.
Gone are the days of "re-inventing the wheel", and of the well meaning but ill-informed experiment. The modern student has a right to be able to learn form the beginning the correct practices of these well established and important learning opportunities.
Whilst creativity is desirable at every stage in the learning curve, this needs to be completely constructive towards a clearly defined goal. Materials, energy and time are too valuable to be used otherwise.
To assist in solving practical teaching and learning problems in the area of technology, TechSoft offers a comprehensive range of In-service training opportunities for teachers, students and the general public from primary through to tertiary and for vocational and occupational needs, especially for small enterprises.
We also offer New Zealand Polymer Open Tech distance learning package, the full range of the internationally acclaimed BPTA plastics technology learning programmes, on-campus and on-site courses dealing with a wide range technology topics for inclusion in the graphics design and technology, home economics, electronics and control, school based enterprises and science curricula.
