Objectives | The paper presents a study developed in the frame of LLP KA3-ICT project no. 511787-LLP-1-2010-1-TR-KA3-KA3MP: “Nano-Tech Science Education” that aims to use ICTs as a tool to make the learning of science subjects more attractive and accessible. Trying to increase the learners’ motivation in science studies (The Educational Council of European Union Report, 2001), teachers and students were asked about how to introduce the new scientific concepts related to nano-materials and nano-technologies in the classroom, to be easy and better understood. The paper includes only the analysis of the science teachers’ answers from the Turkish and Romanian secondary education in order to identify the most suitable tools for introducing the nano-materials and nano-technologies in science lessons. Based on their feedback, the partnership decided to set up a specific Nanotech Virtual Lab and use the proper ICT tools during the project. |
