The ability to make effective choices and decisions is
one of the most important competencies that students
need to be successful in life. This paper suggests the
idea of using the technology fair as a means for
promoting students’ decision-making skills. The purpose
of the study was to investigate the influence of a
procedure of working with primary school children to
complete and present a technology fair project, on the
decision-making skills of undergraduate primary
education students. Pre-tests, mid-test and post-tests
were administered to undergraduate students before,
during and after the preparation of the technology fair,
respectively. Data were also collected from reflective
diaries kept by the university students during the
preparation of the technology fair. A number of students
were selected and interviewed after the completion of
the technology fair. The analysis of the results indicates
that the technology fair has an influence on improving
students’ decision-making strategies within the domain
of design and technology
