      Driven by the Standards for Technological Literacy, this National Science Foundation-sponsored book is written by national leaders in engineering and technology education and addresses the most contemporary technological content using engaging, pedagogically sound "informed design" activities.
    • Burghardt, David and Hacker, Michael. (2003). Technology Education-Learning by Design. Prentice-Hall. This middle school technology education textbook uses the Informed Design Process for design challenge activities
  2. K-12 STEM Education
  3. Informed Design
    • Burghardt, M. D. & Hacker M. (2004). Informed Design: A Contemporary Approach to Design Pedagogy as the Core Process in Technology. The Technology Teacher, 64, 1 September 2004., page 6. This article in the Technology Teacher explains the Informed Design process and why it is an exiting new strategy for classroom instruction.
    • Koch, J. & Burghardt, M. D.(2002). Design Technology in the Elementary School - A Study of Teacher A Action Research. Journal of Technology Education. 13, 2 This article describes the effect of using Informed Design strategies to improve the student. learning.In particular, those students targeted as low functioning show dramatic improvement in reasoning.
