Science Education
in the Digital Era
Directors: Antonio M. Battro, Kurt W. Fischer
Program officer: María Lourdes Majdalani
The Course of this year discusses important issues in the teaching of science using the information and communication technologies from elementary school to university, from research laboratories to the public media.
We plan to publish some relevant presentations in a special section of the Mind, Brain and Education Journal (Wiley/Blackwell). Participants are senior and junior researchers from several countries of America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
The aim of this Course is to present and discuss recent pedagogical achievements in the teaching of science using the information and communication technologies ICT, from elementary school to university, from research laboratories to the public media.
The participants, seniors and juniors, will cover a vast spectrum of skills, journalism, advanced ICT research: simulation, robotics, cloud computing, and the neurocognitive sciences.
