Abstract
A close relationship among these components demonstrates multidisciplinarity of technological education. Technological education, as a part of holistic education, is holistically qualitative as much as interrelations among technological education components are perceived. Technological education is integral, open for cooperation, individualization and differentiation of the curriculum by applying a project method of education. As the students select one of the six modules in the area of technologies in the secondary education school, a technological competence is developed i. e. moral values and technological skills are cherished. In order to verify and evaluate the student's achievements aimed at the competence in the area of technologies, in 2009 the examination of technologies was introduced in Lithuania. The examination is carried out by applying a project-based work method, and the process consists of three parts: preparation of description of the final examination work, creation of the product of the final examination work and presentation of the final examination work.
The article deals with the changes in technological education in Lithuania i. e. a transition from the craft-based technological education to the project-based education of technologies when the students' skills related with projects, information search, collection and analysis, knowledge of materials, etc. are developed, and a concept of technologies is expanded. Applying a method of literature analysis, the features of technological education as well as expression of didactic components of technological education in the activities of the educational process participants at different historical time periods are analysed. As the political environment of education in Lithuania was changing, teaching of household works (technical works) was transforming into technological education. The goal was to develop a coherent conception of technological education, from domestic consumption to the knowledge of not complicated technologies. An opportunity to reveal and develop the multidimensionality of technologies as an educational subject occurred. The main components of technological education are technological changes, consumer education, quality of life, computer- literacy, design, and vocational guidance.
