EFFECTIVE USE OF TECHNOLOGIES TO PROMOTE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE

Information and communication technologies have become ubiquitous in today’s society. While their introduction in classrooms raises some concerns, an appropriate use of ICT in science education can work both as a motivation tool and as a way to better understand scientific concepts.

In this section, using recent research and European reports we will first address in Chapter 1 the importance of technologies, particularly for young people and why they can help improve science education. In Chapters 2 and 3, we will describe hardware and software tools that can be used by students and teachers in science education. Finally, in Chapter 4, we will focus on practical advice and real-life examples of ICT use in science classes.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Chapter 2 - Hardware tools

Chapter 3 - Software tools

Chapter 4 - Integrating tools in sciences education
