Scientific literacy influences people’s decisions about personal and societal problems. The overall
aim of the science curriculum is to develop learners’ scientific literacy. y. This aim may be broken
down into components so that an achievable curriculum and programme can be planned. In order to
promote the aim of scientific literacy, three components are distinguished:
Scientific knowledge/concepts
Scientific process skills
Scientific attitudes
1.3.2. Technological literacy
The purpose of technology education is to contribute towards learners’ technological literacy by
giving them opportunities for learning that allow them to:
• develop and apply specific skills to solve technological problems
• develop an understanding of concepts and knowledge used in technology and to use the concepts
and knowledge responsibly and purposefully
• develop an appreciation for the interaction between people’s values and attitudes, technology,
society and the environment
Technological literacy includes the ability to use technological products and systems responsibly and
wisely (or with good attitudes and values).
