Abstract: The 21stcentury
education is about giving students the skills they need to succeed in this new
world and helping them develop the confidence to practice those skills. With so much
information readily available to them, the 21stcentury
skills focus more on making sense of
that information, sharing and using it in smart ways. There are several reasons for questioning
how well the current school curriculum is equipping students for life and work in the 21st
Century.
The 21stcentury
curriculum also suggests “abandonment of textbookdriven
knowledge,
teachercentered
mode of instruction, paper and pencil schooling”. It means a new way of
understanding the concept of “knowledge” and a new definition of the “educated person”.
Consequently, a new way of designing and delivering the curriculum is required. The twentyfirstcentury
curriculum is: “interdisciplinary, projectbased,
and researchdriven.
It is connected
to the community – local, state, national and global.
Hence, the theme of this conference is apt and provides opportunities where experts brainstorm
so that international communities can benefit from one another and also respond to curriculum
issues in science and technology education in the 21st century. Curriculum issues are capable of
enhancing quality teaching and learning process. It is worthy to note that, the implementation
of the 21stcentury
curriculum would have a greater influence on the quality of manpower
injected into the labour market which may determine the economic growth of any nation.
The theme and subthemes
of this conference, “Curriculum Issues in Science and Technology
Education in the 21st Century” are based on the prevailing situation of poor quality education in
developing nations. I am sure this conference has provided an avenue for researchers and
educators to share their ideas on the 21stcentury
curriculum issues that can enhance quality
education and selfreliance
in underdeveloped and developing nations across the world. I hope
the theme and subthemes
meet the needs of the stakeholders in education.
The subthemes
are:
• Curriculum Issues and Security Challenges
• Curriculum Issues and Labour Market Demands
• Curriculum Issues and Advancement in Science Education
• Curriculum Issues and Innovations in Technology Education
• Curriculum Issues and Industrial Demands
• Curriculum Issues and Health Demands
• Curriculum Issues in Language and Information Communication and Technology
• Curriculum Issues and Innovations in Special Education
• Curriculum Issues in Agricultural Science and Food Security
• Curriculum Issues in Entrepreneurial Education2019-12-01T00:00:00Z
