This study investigated the educational contents of surface treatment technology in junior high school technology education, based on the findings in the relevant field of research and development of surface treatment technology. This study also aimed to provide fundamental knowledge of educational contents, including trends in the surface treatment research fields. Analysis of the educational curriculum of technology education showed that the “roughness or asperity control” and “creating coated layer” were mainly taught under the existent curriculum by using the technology textbooks. The educational contents for the surface treatment technology also tended to be extracted from “skill” and “knowledge”. On the basis of the above results, recent findings on wood surface treatment technology were analyzed in particular and the research contents were extracted from the view of awareness of issue awareness and problem solution. From the above extracted results, it was proposed that the educational contents should also be dealt with from the view of the “interest” or “creativity” for innovation.
