The Department was established in 1993. The need for the Department's research arose due to the intrroduction of Technological Education into Russian curricula.

Our priority is focusing on developing students' professional competency in teaching, training and professional activities, scientific project work in technology, as well as in blue-collar training.

The Department has grown significantly over the years. The studies are conducte at specialized classrooms, laboratories, educational workshops (the study of methods of teaching technology, sewing and cooking workshops, fitting and turning workshops, workshops for wood processing, forging and welding shops, etc.).

The Department's research is concentrated in creating integrated information environment for school technology teachers.
