Call for Papers
PATT & ICTE 2027 cordially invites scholars, educators, and policymakers worldwide to contribute their research, insights, and practices. As always, we welcome submissions covering ALL aspects of technology education research. Whether your work focuses on curriculum design, pedagogical innovations, teacher education, historical perspectives, or student cognition, your contributions are highly valued in this inclusive community. Crucially, our focus remains firmly on Technology Education as a distinct discipline exploring how students learn to design, make, and critique technology-rather than the general use of educational technology to teach other subjects.

Special Thematic Focus: RETHINKING Technology Education: Tangible, Digital and Beyond
While our conference remains fully open to all broad topics in technology education, this year we also invite scholars to engage with our special thematic focus. In this era of intertwined realities, much effort has been devoted to developing AI and digital applications, sometimes causing traditional tangible technologies to be overlooked. The tension between these two forces—the gravitational pull of the virtual and the enduring anchor of the physical—lies at the heart of our special theme.
Strands & Guiding Questions
The following Strands are intended to inspire thought, rather than restrict your submissions.
