Abstract :

This year, on April 22nd-23rd, the 21st National Scientific Practical Conference “Natural science education in a comprehensive school - 2016” took place. This time the participants of the conference gathered in Jan Sniadecki Gymnasium of Salchininkai. The conference was organized by the scientific methodological centre “Scientia Educologica”, and the most important conference partners were – Jan Sniadecki gymnasium and the „Ecological Education Center“ in Vilnius. On the first day of the conference four plenary reports were presented. Dr. Agnaldo Arroio presented teacher professional development issues in Mozambique. Denis Zhilin from Moscow Polytechnic Museum has presented the issues related to instructivism and constructivism ideology in education. Obviously, some interesting questions of modern natural science and technology education are presented in these reports. In the afternoon the work went on in two sections. In the first section the reports were mostly devoted to pre-school, primary and general natural science education problems. The second section is devoted to the science and technology education perspectives at the secondary and higher school. The work of a conference was fruitful. Participants got acquainted with topical issues and the new ideas in the sphere of natural science and technology education. In the frame of a conference two seminars were organized. During the first seminar participants analysed some possibilities science and mathematics teacher collaboration. The latest results based on the international MaT²SMc project were presented and discussed. The second seminar was devoted to the development of chemical concepts through experiment. So, 22nd national conference is a history already. As always, not everything was successfully recorded, not all interesting questions discussed. 23rd conference is expected to take place in Pakruojis, in April, 2017.
