The paper focuses on the improvement of technology teaching in kindergarden and primary school. My research was divided into two parts. One is an empirical study that analysed the perception and attitude of the teachers towards the role of Technology in the process of competence development in k to 4 education. The second represents an action research that is developed around a metaproject as a framework to help partner teachers to design their own projects. Each partner was supported to apply a coherent system of transfers in order to develop the students’ favourable attitude towards initiative, quality and entrepreneurship.
