World
Conferences
ICASE 2010, the World Conference
on Science and Technology Education, follows on from previous ICASE
World Conferences held in Penang, Malaysia (2003) and Perth,
Australia, (2007). It will bring together policy makers, curriculum
developers, scientists, science teacher educators and researchers,
science teacher association personnel and of course primary and
secondary science teachers.
The 2003 conference led to the
development and dissemination of the Penang Declaration and a Way
Forward document suggesting pathways for Partnerships to promote
Science Education. Following the Perth 2007 conference in Australia,
the Perth Declaration expressed concern for the current state of
science education, especially related to its popularity among
students. The declaration made recommendations for the future.
Issues stemming from this, to put before policy makers, were further
developed in an accompanying forum under the auspices of UNESCO.
This led to the UNESCO publication Science Education policy-making:
Eleven emerging issues.
