Scientific Education: New Methodologies for a Changing Society (Iberoamerican Journal of Education; vol. 87, no. 1) Year of publication: 2021 Author: F. Javier Perales | David Aguilera Corporate author: Organización de Estados Iberoamericanos (OEI) A society as changing as ours needs changes (innovations) and adaptations in the educational field that allow academics to be combined with social demands. We believe that this first monograph is representative of the richness and diversity of the proposals received which, in turn, constitute a sample of the strength of the community of teachers and researchers in their desire to make science education an attractive and efficient for new generations. 
Effectiveness of Integrating Reciprocal Teaching and Science Stations Strategies in Teaching Science on Developing Some Science Hand Skills among Eighth Grade Female Pupils in Thamar City (Arts for Educational & Psychological Studies; Vol.5, No.3) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Nabeeha Saleh Abdulmoghni, Mohammed Ebrahim Al-San Corporate author: Dhamar University This study aimed to identify the impact of integrating reciprocal teaching and science stations strategies in teaching science on developing some science hand skills among Eighth-grade female pupils in Thamar City. To achieve the study objectives, the descriptive analytical method and the quasi-experimental design of the two groups, with pre and post measurements, were used. The data collection tools included: a checklist for analyzing Unit 7 (Nutrition in Living Organisms), and unit 8 (The Relationship of what you eat to your Health) in the respective textbook; a checklist of science hand skills to be developed; and an observation sheet of the skills, covering three main skills: (carrying out scientific experiments correctly- designing and drawing shapes and illustrations correctly- following safety rules in the laboratory). After testing the validity and reliability of the tools, and administering them to the study sample, a number of results were revealed. More specifically, there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the pupils of the experimental and control groups in the science hand skills, attributed to the experimental group due to the integrative approach. 
Science Education in a Cultural Diversity Context: The Migrant Student in Chile (Revista Saberes Educativos; July-Decembe, No.11) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Carmen Luisa Alfaro Contreras | Iskra Pavez Soto The aim of this article is to analyze teachers' conceptions of science education in contexts of cultural diversity. In recent years, the presence of migrant students in Chilean education has increased, which has generated a meeting of diverse world views that stress the paradigms of scientific education itself. The article presents a study whose methodological design was of a qualitative nature. 13 interviews were conducted with a strategic sample made up of science teachers from the school system, pedagogy students, and university professors. The results reflect dissimilar ideas about the relationship between science and culture, generating, on the one hand, a kind of invisibility or denial of diversity and, on the other, a recognition of a multiplicity of ways of building knowledge, approaching an intercultural view of science. Stereotyped ideas about the student body and the lack of training to deal with cultural diversity are recognized. The main difficulties are associated with the characteristics of the school system and the hegemonic and monocultural nature of the curriculum. It concludes with recommendations on the need for a postcolonial scientific education and to democratize knowledge, with a focus on student learning that allows the development of critical individuals. 
Working knowledge: symbiosis of programmes in science teaching, environmental education, and technical and vocational education Year of publication: 2006 Author: Saif R. Samady Corporate author: UNESCO UNESCO’s work in science teaching began shortly after the Organization was established. After the Second World War, many schools in Europe were in great need of science equipment. To meet this need, the Organization sponsored the publication of a small volume entitled Suggestions for Science Teachers in Devastated Countries. The book was further developed to include a wide range of guidelines for simple equipment and science experiments and published in 1956 as the UNESCO Source Book for Science Teaching. Over the years, the Source Book was revised several times and translated into more than twenty-five languages. During five decades, the Organization promoted worldwide exchange of information and innovations in science education and assisted many Member States, especially the developing countries, in setting up science teacher training programmes, curriculum development centres, and projects for design and development of science equipment. Discours du Sous-Directeur général de l'UNESCO pour la culture M. Francesco Bandarin à l'occasion de la Journée internationale de la langue maternelle: Les langues locales pour la citoyenneté mondiale: zoom sur la science; UNESCO, le 21 février 2014 Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO This is an address by Mr. Francesco Bandarin, Assistant Director-General for culture of UNESCO, on the occasion of the International Mother Language Day: Local languages for global citizenship: focusing on science. Although little progress has been made to extend the benefits of multilingual education in the areas such as science, development of science will be considerably consolidated if people better understand and utilize local and international languages. 
Gender Inequality in Learning Achievement in Primary Education: What can TERCE Tell Us? Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO Santiago Existing research identifies several significant, subject-based gender inequalities in education. Male learners have significant advantages in mathematics and female learners have no less significant advantages in reading and writin. Such considerable differences in achievement may have important consequences for the future wellbeing of students. In order to shed light on this phenomenon in Latin America, this report analyzes the gender gaps in educational achievement in the Third Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (TERCE) led by the Latin American Laboratory for Assessment of the Quality of Education (LLECE).
