This chapter begins by presenting how multimodal narratives were developed and how they have evolved in time as a research tool. Their characteristics are explained, as well as their potential for use in research studies. One important aspect discussed in this chapter is the versatility of this tool, which allows for many possible investigative approaches. In particular, it addresses how multimodal narratives can be used to carry out studies in science and technology education research. Several examples are provided of such studies that were developed within a research community which has been working with multimodal narratives for over a decade.

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.
