INNOVATIONS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION

 

Throughout the world, innovations has become a permanent feature of the educational scene. This particularly true in the fields of science and technology education where developments are proceeding at an ever-increasing pace, not only in curriculum content, but also in the associated teaching methods and materials. Innovations in Science and Technology Education, has been launched within this framework in order to provide information, on an international basis, about innovations in science and technology education at all levels of schooling, in related teacher training (both pre-service and in-service), and in out-of-school activities.

Title: Innovations in science and technology education. Vol. VI
Year: 1997
Language(s): English
Abstract: Reading the different contributions to this volume, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that much discussion of scientific and technological literacy is concerned directly or indirectly, with the world in action, with effecting or influencing change in such fields as the environment, health care, sanitation, water supply, agriculture, science/technology policy, etc. Since action is commonly related to purpose and values, there is an obvious link with some of the issues discussed in the previous section. However, the underpinning notion here might be described as the development of scientific and technological literacy in ways that are enabling and empowering.
Title: Innovations in science and technology education. Vol. VII
