Science and technology education and future human needs : International conference : Papers. Vol 1, Science and technology education and future human needs edited by John Lewis. Vol 2, Ethics and social responsibility in science education edited by M J Fr

Science and technology, together with their teaching through the various types of formal and nonformal education, constitute an essential factor in improving the material and cultural conditions of people's lives and are a priority objective of cultural development. Science and Technology Education and Future Human Needs is the introductory volume in a nine-volume series concerned with different aspects of science and technology education at all levels, commissioned by the Committee of the Teaching of Science at the International Council of Scientific Unions. Each of the subsequent volumes addresses one of eight interdisciplinary topics, identified as essential for development: health; food and agriculture; energy resources; industry and technology; the environment; information transfer and technology, and ethics and social responsibility in science education. This volume provides a history of the international movement which culminated in the series and deals with some of the major issues which provided a background and stimulus to much of the work. Finally it examines ways in which these activities may serve as a springboard for innovation and future development Content: Science and Technology Education and Future Human Needs, Page ii Front Matter, Page iii Copyright, Page iv Foreword, Page v, JOHN L.

Papers From The Bangalore Conference On Science And Technology Education And Future Human Needs, Organized By The Committee On The Teaching Of Science Of The International Council Of Scientific Unions. Includes Bibliographies And Index. Science and Technology Education and Future Human Needs is a collection of papers that tackle concerns in the education of future scientists, particularly concerns in identifying techniques and resource material. The title first covers the impact of science on society, and then proceeds to tackling the relevance of science. Next, the selection talks about the revision of science curricula. Chapter 4 deals with science education and the needs of developing countries, while Chapter 5 talks about problems in implementation. The sixth chapter covers the balance between technology and environment in development, and the seventh chapter tackles the nutritional concerns in national development. In the last chapter, the text talks about addressing human needs first before developing science and technology. The book will be of great interest to individuals concerned with the progress of science and technology.
