The purpose of this study was to obtain basic information in reorganizing curriculum for secondary school technology teachers' training in a knowledge-based society.This study was carried out through review of literature and questionnaire survey. In order to investigate technology teachers' recognition and demand for teacher training curriculum, questionnaires were delivered to 280 teachers and 219 questionnaires were retrieved among them.The major findings of this study were as follows;1) Technology teachers recognized that their demand for teacher training curriculum was not being reflected at revising curriculum, and training curriculum was not properly connected to that of middle and high schools either.2) Technology teachers recognized that facilities for experiment and practice in a college was not prepared enough and a system of practicing teaching was not operated effectively.3) It was recommended that an ICT education, a problem solving-based instruction, and a real world-based education contents through teacher training curriculum should be more emphasized.
