NATURAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION: IMPORTANCE OF VALUES
Abstract
In recent years, both in Lithuania and in other countries, natural science and technology development is given emphasis to. Decreasing youth interest in natural sciences and/or technology has become a big concern. On the one hand, such concern is reasonable, because youth motivation choosing the studies at universities is usually directed to social and humanitarian sciences. Such a situation is determined by a number of reasons. Anyway the choice of a further way is closely connected with the values of the younger generation. Progress in science and technology is very high. Progress in the sphere of formation of values of society sharply lags behind.
So, value component of natural science and technology education should become a priority in all education system, at all its levels. Values should be systematically inoculated, directing young people to become mature personalities. This means the ability to apply the acquired knowledge and abilities practically, to solve everyday life problems, to educate self-confidence, feel responsibility and be able to adapt to the changing environment and seek to save the environment, suitable for the man’s existence. Values are formed not adapting to the situation “here and now”, but orienting to future perspective “there and then”. Value component of natural science and technology education should occupy a proper place in educational practice, and should be more exhaustively examined in a scientific sense.

DIDACTIC POSSIBILITIES OF REALISATION OF INTERDISCIPLINARY RELATIONS: SUBJECT FRUIT JUICE PROPERTY
Abstract
Natural Science Education improvement remains one of the most important current challenges in education system. In general, 21st century raises new challenges for Natural science, Mathematics, Technology teachers. Young generation interest in Natural Sciences and Technology is poor. It is predicted that in not so far future, a shortage of qualified specialists will be felt in this sphere. It is obvious, that Natural science and Technology education basics is being formed in general education school. How to strengthen the pupils’ Natural science and Technology learning motivation, to increase their interest? This is one of the most important questions of today’s education. On the other hand, improvement has to be carried out in different directions. Not only motivation strengthening is important, but also creating proper educational environments (spoken here about green environment, so-called outdoor didactics, teacher competence and so on). Extra didactic material preparation for teachers becomes an urgent question. It is very important to help teachers prepare for practical work lessons and to give them, using ordinary and digital devices for the performance of practical-experimental works.
In this analysis, a didactic scenario is presented realising an interdisciplinary – integral teaching/learning. The investigated topic is “Juice properties”. Natural sciences and Mathematics teachers’ collaboration possibilities are revealed.

THE ROLE AND SCOPE OF VISION THERAPY IN EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE
Abstract
All vision therapy techniques are not medical. It's more like psychological-educational methods. Prophylaxis and vision therapy all around the world is primarily used by psychologists and educationalists not doctors. There is no healing in improving person’s vision, it is teaching. Eyes are the same part of the human body as other parts, and you should take care and rest.
Pupils' education on eyes care should be one of the tasks of general education schools. Attention needs to be paid to the quality of pupils' vision at school. Must be time to develop pupils need to take care of our own vision. Schools community should decide during witch classes and lessons vision therapy should be done. The starting point should be at kindergarten or in primary school. The sooner children adopts appropriate eye care skills, the more it becomes a habit and the less valuable time will take in older age. It is important for students to learn to love their eyes, remember to take care of them, to rest and relax them.
Exercises for eyes should be prepared and given to pupils as their obligation for the eyes. The memos should be included with: relaxation exercises, solarization, massages, imaginational exercises, exercises for eyes muscles and for accomodation.

CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT AS METHOD OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD OF THE RUSSIAN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN XIX-XX CENTURIES
Abstract
The chemistry as an independent subject in the Russian Empire was brought into the curriculum of real gymnasiums in 1864 (Parmyonov, 1963; Teleshov, 2000). Nevertheless, in 1794 in Mountain school A. M. Karamyshev, Karl Linney's pupil, gave actually the first course of chemistry in high school. It is quite natural that the very first textbooks of chemistry in Russia were in the German and French languages. Then the time of translated textbooks came. The first original textbooks for school appeared in Russia at the beginning of the 19th century. In all these books the essential attention was paid to chemical experiment: both to supervision, and its performance. Also, we will try to track that could observe and what to carry out in fixed time pupils of gymnasiums, schools and military schools at 19 beginning of 20 centuries. Certainly, we consider this question in connection with its large volume on a limited number of examples, using materials of school textbooks and articles in the methodical magazine. Educational texts in the range of 1886-1910, till 1911 - prior to the beginning of a methodical era of V. Verkhovsky will be brought to your attention.

THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL BALTIC SYMPOSIUM ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION BalticSTE2015 „STATE-OF-THE-ART AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES”: A REVIEW OF SYMPOSIUM
Abstract
This year, on June 15th-18th, the 1st international Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education „State-of-the-art and future perspectives“ (BalticSTE2015) took place. The symposium was organized by the scientific methodological centre “Scientia Educologica” and Šiauliai university, Lithuania.
The symposium on this topic in the Baltic States was organized for the first time. It is a unique opportunity for the scientist of the Baltic States to show the achievements in the sphere of natural science and technology education. On the other hand, it is an opportunity to examine the latest researches in the world, to come into business contacts etc.
This kind of symposiums is held regularly in Asia, Africa, South and North America and is primarily intended to facilitate the development of science and technology education in the region. This symposium attended by guests from Taiwan, Brazil, Canada, Turkey, Iran, Russia, Slovenia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Italy, Latvia, and Poland.
The symposium proceedings were prepared and published. Totally 34 short papers are published in which various natural science and technology education problems are discussed.
