DEADLINE
EXTENDED TO 31 DECEMBER 2003

Contributions
are invited for a theme peer-reviewed issue on the theme of chemistry
and environmental education. The contributions will be of two kinds:
(a) research-based; (b) practice-oriented papers, focusing on chemistry/science
education-environmental education- environmental chemistry/science relationships,
and related (educational) issues in research, curriculum development
and implementation, teaching-learning strategies, and assessment methodologies.
Possible
focus subjects for contributions might include:
- conceptual/theoretical
frameworks
- Science-Technology-Environment-Society
(STES)-oriented courses in chemical and environmental education
- the
common ground of chemistry and/or chemical education and STES-environmental
education
- the
chemistry/environmental chemistry to science/environmental education
relationships
- the
role of chemistry in environmental/STES education
- the
relevancy of environmental education in chemical education
- HOCS
in environmental chemistry and STES education
- science
and non-science students in environmental chemistry courses: is there
a problem?
- science/chemistry
teachers' training and environmental education
- the
nature (and future?) of integrated/combined STES-oriented courses
- chemistry
and environmental education in the social context.
- interdisciplinary/integrated
environmental chemistry and science/STES education courses/curricula
and/or special programs at all levels.
This list
is not intended to be exclusive, but rather to suggest the scope of
possible contributions. Since the Environment is strongly connected
to science, technology, and society, contributions could be related
to the STES interfaces too. Papers could refer to one or more of the
secondary, high school/college or university levels.
Guest
co-editors for the theme issue will be:
(a)
Dr. Uri ZOLLER, Professor of Chemistry and Science Education
at the University of Haifa - Oranim, Faculty of Science and Science
Education-Chemistry;
(b) Michael SKOULLOS, Associate Professor of Environmental Chemistry,
University of Athens, Department of Chemistry.
Informal
approaches about the suitability of possible contributions should be
addressed as follows:
(a) for research-based contributions to Prof. Zoller (Faculty of Science
& Science Education-Chemistry, Haifa University-Oranim, Kiryat Tivon,
36006 Israel; e-mail: uriz@research.haifa.ac.il);
(b) for practrice-oriented contributions to Prof. Skoullos (University
of Athens, Department of Chemistry, Panepistemiopolis Zographou, GR-157
71 Athens, Greece; e-mail: mio-ee-env@ath.forthnet.gr).
Submissions,
in the format required by the journal (see GUIDELINES
FOR SUBMISSIONS) should be sent by post (NOT BY e-mail)* to the
appropriate guest co-editor, to arrive by December 31, 2003.
Potential contributions will be subject to the journal's usual peer
review process. Where revisions are required as a condition of publication,
authors will be required to resubmit by March 31, 2004.
*
Please remember to submit four (4) print copies of your manuscript,
of which three must be prepared for anonymous review.
