Science And Technology Education

The perspectives of the improvement of natural science and technology education remains actual at all levels of an education system. Rapid development of science and technologies creates new challenges for an education system. Undoubtedly, natural science and technology education is a major factor of economic development of society. Deep concern is created by that fact that in some countries the tendency of decrease in the interest of youth to science in general is observed. It is obvious that it is necessary to reconsider the existing strategies of natural science and technology education. In this regard it is important to develop qualitatively new strategies and techniques of teaching and learning. A key task, there is a development of professional competences of science teachers, systemic improvement of teacher education in universities. Two important events are briefly presented in this editorial. The first Baltic Symposium on science and technology education was organized in Lithuania in June 2015. During the symposium participants shared experience, presented the latest scientific researches, and also examined some perspectives of natural science and technology education in the Baltic States. The second event is scientific methodical conference “Natural Science Education in a Comprehensive School” which is focused on school practice. It was organized in the Veisiejai gymnasium in April 2015. The presented scientific events undoubtedly have an influence on a development of science and technology education in general. Key words: science and technology education, scientific conference, school practice.

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.

Latinx Youth

Within science and technology education, concepts of justice, in/equity, and ethics within science education are simultaneously ubiquitous, necessary, yet un(der)theorized. Consequently, the potential for reproducing and reifying systems of power remains ever present. In response, there is a recent but growing movement within science and technology education that follows the call by Kayumova and colleagues (2019) to move “from empowerment to response-ability.” It is a call to collectively organize, reconfigure, and reimagine science and technology education by taking seriously critiques of Western modern science and technology from its co-constitutive exteriority (e.g., feminist critiques). Herein, we pursue the (re)opening of responsiveness with/in methodology by juxtaposing differential, partial, and situated accounts of response-ability: de/colonizing the Anthropocene in science teacher education in Canada (Higgins); speculative fiction at the science-ethics nexus in secondary schooling in Australia (Mahy); and a reciprocal model for teaching and learning computational competencies with Latinx youth in the US (Aghasaleh and Enderle).

The emphasis of the current Basic Science and Technology Education (BSTE) curriculum is on activity-oriented approach to teaching and learning which is child centered. The implication of child centered learning is that each pupil should be provided with the necessary materials to participate in the teaching and learning process. The increasing enrollment of pupils in primary schools place a lot of demands on proprietors and school administrators in the provision of necessary facilities for the implementation of the Basic Science and Technology Education curriculum. This write up unveil the secrets of the project method of teaching in supplementing facilities for Basic Science and Technology teaching with improvised materials particularly in primary schools. The process involves the development of skills in the learners such as questioning, manipulation, measurement, design and modeling to create equipment using local resources available in the environment. The role of the teacher is to create enabling environment for the pupils to acquire and demonstrate these skills. The use of local materials in improvising science equipment demystifies the notion that science is foreign and consequently triggers the innate curiosity of pupils to learn. The provision of good working condition for teachers and encouragement of pupil who have exhibited outstanding skills in designing equipment are advocated to promote the project method in improvisation.

Nanoscience And Technology

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.
