Program & Strands


​​The theme of the conference, Future educational challenges from science and technology perspectives, underlines aspects of great relevance for contemporary science education research: the need to reflect on different perspectives, stress the relationship between science, technology and society, emphasize the cultural and human values, the role of knowledge, learning processes and context, formal or non-formal. Highlighting these themes means to promote contact and dialogue across political and ideological borders to recognize sustainability, cultural diversity and international understanding.
