Abstract EN

This study investigates the barriers to implementing the technology curriculum as perceived by teachers in light of some variables.

To achieve that, the researchers used a questionnaire consists of 62 items divided into four factors, and was distributed to 278 teachers teaching technology education to grades 5–10 in Gaza governmental schools in the 2005–2006 academic year.

Appropriate statistical techniques were used to compute the data (the arithmetic mean and percentages, t-test, one away ANOVA, and Sheffe test).

The study finds that most of the difficulties which teachers face were the facility (78 %), administrative support (72 %), the curriculum (62 %) and teacher preparation (59 %).

The findings did not show any statistically significant differences among those four factors caused by the teaching level, gender or experience.

On the other hand, there is a statistically significant difference related to the facility factor, where technology teachers faced more barriers than science teachers.

Based on the results of this study, the following recommendations are offered for consideration : provide the school with the facilities needed, teachers with special teaching guides.
