The Power of Plumbing: Infrastructure Supports Electronic Activities
By: Robert Tinker, Concord.org | December 23, 2007

Once every student has a networked computer, what will instructional materials look like? They better be more than simply texts-on-screen. The material should be compelling and thought provoking, and should take full advantage of the flexibility and computational power computers offer.

By:
Svein Sjøberg and Camilla Schreiner, University of Oslo, Norway | April 7, 2006
|
| In many highly developed countries, there is a noticeable decline in the recruitment of students to science and technology (S&T) studies. 'Europe needs more scientists' is the title of a report by the High Level Group on Increasing Human Resources for Science and Technology in Europe (EC, 2004). This report examines the condition of S&T in the European Union and pays special attention to the number of people entering S&T education and careers. The title of the report reveals the point: the falling recruitment to S&T studies is seen as a large problem in most European countries. The same tendencies are noted in the USA and in most other countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). |
