Eastern Mediterranean University is pleased to announce the first international conference on undergraduate science education; Frontiers in Science Education Research 2009 (FISER’09). The aim of FISER’09 is to provide a scholarly environment for promoting discussions in contemporary topics of undergraduate science and mathematics education research. FISER’09 is open to professional science and mathematics education researchers, educators, students and all others who are interested. During FISER’09, topics that will be covered will extend from education technologies to faculty development and from undergraduate curricula designs to the Bologna Process. FISER’09 will take place during 22 – 24 March 2009 in Famagusta. The official language of the conference is English. Papers in all fields of undergraduate science and mathematics education research are invited.
We are introducing Space Education in collaboration with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Ministry of Education's insentive program for strengthening Science Education. Our approach is not simply improving science education in itself, but also using science to generate motives for inquiring unknown (knowledge yet to be constructed and/or interdisciplinary application of knowledge) through learing what is known to us (disciplinary knowledge)... We do undergraduate education, but our primary focus is to prepare younger generation (that goes to kindergarden, elementary, junior high, high school students, as well as adult and lifelong ed). Do you think we have audience at your conference (as we are interetested in constructing international collaboration for what we are doing here)? Should we submit our proposal?
