Abstract
This report examines the issues surrounding gender inequalities in technology education. Firstly gender bias is looked at in detail with regards to why girls, in particular, are less exposed to the necessary construction play that builds technological capability and the effect that this has on girls. The second part of this paper reviews the literature surrounding classroom teachers’ pedagogies and practices to suggest how gender bias can be reduced in technology.
