Özet
In an era in which technology develops at a great pace and affects every aspects of our life, it is reasonable to assume an association between technology and growth. Therefore, the terms technology literacy and teaching technology have gradually gained importance. Developed nations have developed their curricula with the goal to raise individuals who can easily adapt to fast developing technology, use it efficiently, and generate new technologies. This paper intends to determine the place of technology education in developed countries like USA, England and France to compare them with the present situation in Turkey. The comparison revealed that the above cited nations have developed awareness towards technology education and developed their curricula accordingly. Turkey, however, has been rather late to raise similar awareness and unlikely deprived of the supports from civil institutions and organizations. Moreover differences were observed in achieving horizontal integration.
