This document reports on one regional workshop about teacher training for science and technology education reform, held in Malaysia 3-14 December 1990. Some countries shared experiences in this workshop were India, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Maldives, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. This workshop gave emphasis to (a) the new role of science teachers linked to the development processes in the Asian countries and towards meeting the comprehensive demands of learning and life; (b) competencies and skills which must be learnt and practised by science teachers; (c) changes in science teacher preparation programmes in the light of new role specifications and towards developing necessary teacher competencies; and (d) evaluation of science learning which takes into account both cognitive and affective domains effectively. |
