Abstract

Science is expressed as a requirement to improve the life quality in general definition. As a 21st century industrial revolution rapidly developing nanotechnology has the potential to affect every aspect of our lives. The most important subject in this context should be engaging in a democratic and knowledge-based society. It needs young boys and girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). This will also be carried out in order to  avoid a brain-drain of talent from Europe. THEREFORE, a shift to innovative and effective methods is necessary, so as to raise the attractiveness of science education and scientific careers and boost the interest of young people in STEM.

The action aims

  • to support a range of activities, which will raise young boys' and girls' awareness of the different aspects encompassing science and technology in their societal content
  • to address the challenges faced by young people when pursuing careers in STEM
  • aims at bringing both girls and boys into the scientific world via formal and informal teaching and learning and
  • to orient them towards undertaking scientific careers.
  • In order to be more attractive, research careers should also be more closely linked to labour market needs.
  • the potential orientation towards more entrepreneurial and multidisciplinary research careers should be recognised

WHAT CAN BE DONE?

  • to help students to achieve expected competence levels. 
  • Research shows that students are still far from the proficiency levels required to live in today’s society.
  • Despite the existence of educational research that identifies necessary changes improve this situation, it can be difficult to transfer these innovations into the classroom. 
  • It is certainly not an easy job for teachers, so all stakeholders (family, public administration etc) must make an effort to help teachers to adopt and implement the innovations that could lead to a more effective STEM learning
  • science education must be able to understand what the future needs of society will be, and find ways to develop the necessary skills among children – who will eventually be facing these challenges.
  • Girls prefer less than boys the fields of STEM  so our society is missing an important section of future STEM professionals, and that there is a large amount of untapped female talent.
