Conferences and Meetings on Didactics of Scientific Disciplines

Nationa University of Rio Negro

The primary goal of this Symposium is to give perhaps for the first time a global vision of Education and Heritage in the frame of the goals of the IAU, taking into account the Plan 2020-2030 and to propose an eventual ‘next steps’ road map and a global astronomy education agenda for the next decade, while honouring the education from the past.

In this sense, we would foster inclusiveness in the advancement of astronomy and facilitate the advancement of the next generation of astronomers and scientists, through encouragement of the use of new methods of learning and best practices (including distance education: Moocs) in pedagogy at university level, as well as the use of astronomy for teaching and education at school level, which are part of the definitions of the proposed Office of Astronomy for Education (OAE), which also pursuits the establishment of a Network of Astronomy Education Contacts (NAECs) to provide accessible materials and astronomy literacy guidelines globally. The invited speakers are international leaders in discipline-based education in astronomy and the planetary science, but also in communication, history, inclusion and protection of world’s heritage, including the dark sky.

As with most other sciences, astronomy is being fundamentally transformed by the Information and Computation Technology (ICT) revolution. The data volume is growing exponentially, can be accessed remotely and the observations can be performed even without a real knowledge of a telescope. The new approaches to the data permits the development of new tools, techniques and resources for data analysis and produce discoveries which probably never would be reached with traditional astronomy data analysis period.

Prospective authors are invited to submit full length and work-in-progress original papers. We also encourage contributions that address the unprecedented disruption caused by COVID-19 on all aspects of higher education. The streams of topics of particular interest for this edition include: Moving to Quality and Equitable Engineering, Technology and Computing (ETC) Distance Learning Solutions during & after COVID-19 (Lesson learned from the implementation of ETC Distance Education at the time of COVID-19), Broadening Learning / Teaching in ETC Education; Innovative Learning Spaces in ETC Education; and Improving Educational Organization Issues of ETC Education. Please see the Topics sub-section at our website for complete details about the topics included in each stream. All papers must be written in English which is the official language of the Conference. The papers will be reviewed by peers based on originality, technical and/or research content/depth, correctness, relevance to conference, contributions, and readability. Accepted and presented papers will be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore digital library. The languages for the presentations are English, Portuguese and Spanish. In addition to the Paper Presentations, the conference program offers Workshops, Plenaries, Panels, and Special Sessions. For more information, please see the EDUNINE conference website.

MRSI – Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley

The world is changing, along with perceptions. Many call for the improvement of mathematics teaching and learning, for both citizenry and STEM preparation. To achieve sustainable change, though, the focus needs to extend from individuals to systems. It is not enough to change one classroom or one course. Transformation requires change at all levels: in teaching, programmatic practices, and institutions. This workshop will bring together teachers and researchers from universities, community colleges, and K-12 schools to explore the reasons for and processes by which change in university mathematics departments is initiated, promoted, and sustained and lessons learned from change efforts in K-12. It will review what we know about change at all levels and reflect on stories of failure and success.

ECRICE 2020 was first planned to take place at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, in July 6-8, 2020 and ultimately postponed because of the COVID19 situation worldwide Excellence and Innovation in Chemistry Teaching and Learning Research in Chemistry education advances our understanding of how students learn chemistry and what can enhance chemistry learning and teaching. The European Conference on Research in Chemistry Education is aiming at improving science education all over the world. It is significant at present time, due to the fact that there is a decline in students in high school who choose to major in chemistry, and as a result – a shortage of chemistry students at the universities.
