Learning Issues

This special issue of University of Porto Journal of Engineering contains selected papers presented at the 1st International Conference on Science and Technology Education STE 2020, held at Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), Portugal, during 15-16 October 2020. This conference is held every year. The conference is co-chaired by António Ferreira (University of Porto, Portugal), Lucas F. M. da Silva (University of Porto, Portugal) and Claudio R. Brito (COPEC, Brazil). The goal of the conference is to provide an international forum for the sharing, dissemination and discussion of research, experience and perspectives across a wide range of teaching and learning issues. About 50 papers were presented by researchers from nearly 20 countries. In order to disseminate the work presented at STE 2020, selected papers were prepared which resulted in the present special issue. Various topics are covered resulting in seven papers dealing with learning mechanisms (first three papers), learning systems (following three papers) and diversity and inclusiveness (last paper). The papers presented here are good examples of the latest trends related to science and technology education. The editors wish to thank all the authors for their participation and cooperation, which made this volume possible. Finally, they would like to thank the team of FEUP library, especially Luís Miguel Costa, for the excellent cooperation during the preparation of this issue.

“Building models for technology-intensive mathematics and science education reform” is the motto of this University of Illinois project, which was established by the chancellor's office of the university office nearly ten years ago. The many resources that the Office for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education (MSTE) has for teachers of grades K–16, especially for teachers of middle and high school grades, is readily apparent by going to its Web site, www.mste.uiuc.edu. Testimony to the popularity and usefulness of this site is its number of hits: it currently averages approximately 2.5 million hits per month and more than 200,000 user sessions. The vast majority of those users are classroom teachers, mostly in Illinois, but also located across the United States and around the world.

ABSTRACTThis article explores issues and challenges in the field of education in nanoscience and technology with special emphasis with respect to India, where an expanding programme of research in nano science and technology is in place. The article does not concentrate on actual curricula that are needed in nano science and technology education course. Rather it focuses on the desirability of nanoscience and technology education at different levels of education and future prospect of students venturing into this within the economic and cultural milieu of India. We argue that care is needed in developing the education programme in India. However, the risk is worth taking as the education on nanoscience and technology can bridge the man power gap not only in this area of technology but also related technologies of hardware and micro electronics for which the country is a promising destination at global level. This will also unlock the demographical advantage that India will enjoy in the next five decades.
