Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the research findings reported in previous chapters, organising them into the following four categories: broad approaches to engaging pupils with designerly thinking; focused teaching and learning in technology education; classroom talk and communities of practice. For each of these categories the chapter then makes suggestions for further work and the contributions that teachers might make.
