The Technology Design subject aims to equip students from primary schools with basic knowledge and skills in technical fields. In order to do this, teachers play an important role as a communicator to enable them to render the knowledge by means of communicating effectively so that the objectives set are met. Therefore, this study is conducted to identify the aspects of construct, the elements of teacher's communication skills and the suitability of the teaching and learning process.
