2nd INTERNATIONAL BALTIC SYMPOSIUM ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION “SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION: ENGAGING THE NEW GENERATION (BalticSTE2017)”: SYMPOSIUM REVIEW

Natural science and technology education improvement remains actual. In the context of decreasing youth interest in natural sciences and technology, it is important to search for the ways and devices of effective motivation, interest formation. 2nd International Baltic Symposium on science and technology “BalticSTE2015”, having taken place in Siauliai, was devoted to this. Its major topic is the improvement of natural science and technology education of the young generation. The symposium was organised by scientific methodological centre “Scientia Educologica”. The main symposium partner is Education sciences and psychology department at Siauliai University. Such kind of symposium was organised in Lithuania for the second time after the restoration of Lithuanian independence in 1990. It is worth remembering, that the first symposium on the same theme was held in 2015 in Siauliai as well. So, the second symposium is also already a history. A wider presentation in English one can find on the internet at: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1771904166160345.1073741888.290054444345332&type=3. As always, not everything was fixated, not all interesting questions were discussed. One can hope, that natural science education movement will continue and develop. It is expected, that the third symposium will take place in Šiauliai in June 2019. A detailed information is given in the symposium internet cafe at: http://balticste.com.
