Promover la educación científica a través de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC)

Abstract

Science education must prepare students to analyze and assess advances in technology from lasers to the human genome. To plan one's health care or select a new residence, citizens must evaluate alternatives that reflect technological advances. As science and technology advance, citizens need the ability to respond to new alternatives and to criticize persuasive messages about everything from drugs to building materials. The Web-based Inquiry Science Environment (WISE) supports students and curriculum designers who seek to achieve these goals. As we experiment with educational programs to meet these goals we benefit from international collaborations and communication. The more we can learn from each other the better our science education can become.
