Located in the Pacific Ocean about 160 kilometers across the Taiwan Straits from Mainland China, Taiwan is an island country where Confucian-heritage culture remains. In the past few decades, technology has driven the massive development of the economy in Taiwan, therefore the technology education in
Taiwan’s schools aims to help all students towards a lifetime of technological engagement. The trends of
technology education reform all over the world indicate that more and more concerns have been focused increasingly on student assessment (Custer, Valesey, & Burke, 2001). Leung (2000), for example,
stated that assessment incorporates emerging ideas in the understanding of learning. That is, if technology
teachers make good use of assessment, they can help students in learning technological literacy. This paper backgrounds the national technology education curriculum and explains the approaches to assessing students’ technology learning in Taiwan.
