IOSTE IOSTE (International Organization for Science and Technology
Education) hosts its 14th international symposium near the beautiful
lake Bled in Slovenia June 13-18 2010. The call for papers is
attached, and details are found at http://www.ioste14.org/
For those who are not familiar with IOSTE, here something about the
background and the mission statement:
*IOSTE *(International Organization for Science and Technology
Education) is an international organization which aims to encourage
informed debate, reflection and research on science and technology
(S&T) education. IOSTE was established in 1979 to promote contact and
dialogue across political and ideological borders. A key concern was
that education in S&T should be a vital part of the general education
of the peoples of all countries.
IOSTE wants to continue and strengthen its tradition and considers
that S&T education should:
* Highlight S&T education for citizenship and for informed,
critical, and active participation in democracy
* Stress the relationship between science, technology and society
Emphasize the cultural and human values of S&T
* Promote equity in S&T and S&T education
* Advance S&T education for a just and sustainable development and
consider how S&T education can contribute to the fight against
poverty, discrimination and injustice
* Encourage the peaceful and ethical use of S&T in the service of
humankind
* Encourage cultural diversity and international understanding
through S&T education
* Stimulate international collaboration in the domains of research
and development and promote cooperation with other international
organizations.
IOSTE convenes international symposia that opens for inputs that
promotes these commitments and that open for critical reflection and
debate.
You are welcome to attend, and to contribute, to the coming IOSTE in
Slovenia!
Best wishes
