Abstract

Technological knowledge refers to human body about design, manufacture and use of technological knowledge system needed for the Technological artifact. Carpenter, Ropohl, Vincenti, and Vries had classified the technological knowledge from different angles. With the development of technology, the content of the technological knowledge framework also continues to evolve, the classification of technological knowledge need to be reconsidered. From the perspective of modularity theory, the technological knowledge system can be decomposed into three main modules, and re-decompose the technological knowledge module into small modules. The dynamic integration between technological knowledge modules conducive to the flow of technological knowledge, and provide direct basis for further analysis and evaluation of technical education teaching.
