The Technology Education Research Unit [TERU] was founded in 1990 by Professor Richard Kimbell. Learning in and through designing activities has features that make it unusual in the curriculum, and that enable it to contribute positively and uniquely to the education of young people. The research and development that TERU has undertaken has been informed by this belief and has sought to throw light onto the traditions and practices of teaching and learning in design & technology workshops, studios and classrooms.
