Abstract:
This study aimed at investigating the extent to which Civil Technology Teachers understand and
implement Curriculum. The research used qualitative and quantitative methodology to collect data, questionnaires
and interviews were used as instruments to collect data. The sample of the study consisted of 21 Civil Technology
teachers from 18 Technical schools from 5 education districts in the Free State. Teachers revealed that majority
of respondents indicated that Department of Education (DoE) failed to offer formal training on the new Civil
Technology Curriculum, but received one week workshops. They regarded Civil Technology as a subject developed
for high level of knowledge and skills. Teachers recommended that the Department of Education should provide a
full training course on the new understanding and implementation of Civil Technology Curriculum in Free State
Schools in South Africa.
