NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

NEXT ISSUE OF CERP (MAY 2004): A THEME ISSUE ON
CHEMISTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

Next issue of CERP, which will be published in May 2004, is going to be a theme issue on Chemistry and Environmental Education. The issue will include both invited and independently submitted peer-reviewed contributions of two kinds: research-based and practice-oriented papers. Guest co-editors for the theme issue are: (a) Uri ZOLLER, Professor of Chemistry and Science Education at the University of Haifa Oranim, Faculty of Science and Science Education-Chemistry; (b) Michael SKOULLOS, Professor of Environmental Chemistry, University of Athens, Department of Chemistry.


FORTHCOMING PAPER

An English version of the paper by A. Laugier and A. Dumon which appears in this issue in French (L’équation de réaction : Un nœud d’ obstacles difficilement franchissable / The chemical equation: A cluster of problems which are difficult to overcome) is currently in preparation, and expected to be published in a forthcoming issue of CERP (possibly October 2004).


New journal: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF
SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATION

The objective of this new journal (available both in print and electronic forms) is to publish original, fully peer-reviewed articles in a variety of topics and research methods in both science and mathematics education. The journal welcomes articles that:

• address common issues in mathematics and science education and cross-cultural dimensions;
• emphasise context-oriented and not limited to one domain studies (interdisciplinary and integrated curricula);
• promote the use of new technology;
• explore science and mathematics education from different cultural perspectives.

Publisher is Kluwer Academic Publishers, while the journal is sponsored by the National Science Council of Taiwan. Editor-in-chief is Fou-Lai Lin (National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei). The journal has an international editorial board of both science and mathematics educators. The electronic version of the first issue (Volume 1, No. 1, 2003) is available free on the Internet. For more information see: www.kluweronline.nl
