Abstract:

Advances in information and communication technologies have caused existing information to change in many areas. At the point of adapting to these changes, a number of skill areas have emerged that individuals must have. Technology literacy, defined as understanding, using and evaluating technology, constitutes one of these skill areas. The fact that technological literacy has become one of the skills expected from today's individuals has necessitated the integration of technology into the learning process. In technology integration, disciplines such as mathematics, science and social studies are seen as context. One of the ways to incorporate technology into different disciplines is through curriculum. In this context, the purpose of the research is to examine the science course curriculum (Primary and Secondary School 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades) in terms of Technology Literacy Standards (ITEA, 2007). Technology literacy standards are a framework created by the international technology education board. The technology literacy standards framework was used in the document analysis process. This analysis framework; consist of five different sub-categories: design, technology and society, capabilities for a technological world, designed world, and nature of technology. As a result of the analysis, it is possible to say that there are achievements related to the five themes included in the technology literacy standards in the science course curriculum, but the number of achievements related to these themes differs according to the grade level.
