The research behind this article has aimed to identify current and future trends and issues in technology education in Finland. The study was conducted as a joint international study by using a modified Delphi survey to explore the main trends and issues identified by technology education professionals and stakeholders. To collect empirical data, a three-round Delphi process was conducted between December 2019 and April 2020 to identify and prioritise critical trends and issues in technology education.
