	For a History of Technology Education:
		The history of industrial arts was primarily internalist and was never as extensive in scope or depth as the history of technology.
		While it may be philosophically sound to do contextualist history of technology education, practically it is difficult because of the time required to assimilate the social context, technology, and educational practice of a given time period.
		Given the scarcity of historical research in technology education, both critical narrative and social science approaches are needed, but their differences affect the formulation of research questions and the representation of history.
