This paper is organized into two major parts: a review of current activities in science education, and a review of the articles within this special issue. Project 2061 (aaas) and the scope, sequence, and coordination project (nsta) are ongoing efforts to develop new approaches for school science programs. Other reports and journals in the science education field are described briefly. “Constructivism” and “alternative assessment” are two of the ideas science educators are currently exploring as ways to improve science teaching and learning. The last section includes brief reviews of each of the other papers in this issue with special focus on the science education dimension. There is much we can learn from each other.

Thinking about a suitable topic to be put at the opening pages of this special issue dedicated to the 80th anniversary of academician Bojan Soptrajanov, we deemed more than appropriate to place the thought pro-voking overview of a big friend of Macedonia and the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, our honorary professor James Trefil, a Clarence Robinson Professor of Physics, from the George Mason Uni-versity in Fairfax, Virginia. Prof. Trefil is a great scientist and even greater educator (the latter is known to anyone that has read at least one of the 50+ books written by him). The overview is on the (always relevant) topics like science, science education, science teaching and scientific literacy, as a need in a truly democratic society.
