✦ Synopsis

The three-week course described in this paper was designed as part of a programme to introduce technology to pupils in Ireland of age 15+ in the 'Transition' year. This year is between the end of compulsory schooling and the beginning of the two-year cycle of study for the Leaving Certificate Examination. An integrated model of technology is described which is based on Whitehead's (1932) rhythmic theory of learning. The 'romance' stage begins with an intensive course in manufacturing technology based on a series of projects. The paper ends with a description and evaluation ofthefirst trial of the course.
