ERI 2013 - Special Issue on "Using Technology and/or Innovation in Science and Mathematics Education for Enhancement of Learning"

Human capital building development is a crucial factor in the advancement of a country. In the 21st century, as education needs to address a rapidly changing world, especially in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The STEM mastery of the populace holds the key to achieve a certain level of development. Teachers, academic personnel, and educational researchers whose roles are in the development of the effective teaching and learning process should prepare students, that is, future citizens, to function well for the century. Technology and/or innovation in education is, therefore, a key ingredient to enhance learning as it helps produce creative and lifelong learning individuals who will be able to keep abreast of progress and excel in face of new challenges.
Manuscripts to be considered for this special issue should focus on utilization of technology or innovation in K-12 or P-12 science (pure and applied) and mathematics education (SME). Articles may address issues of K-12 and SM classroom technology or innovation integration from research-based, practical, or theoretical perspectives at any levels of academic contexts. Priority will be given to manuscripts that are well grounded in SME research literature and/or present novel research into the utilization of technology or innovation in SME. Potential contributions include, but are not limited to:
Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) issues such as mobile learning, modelling or simulation-based learning, digital game-based learning, and Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 in education
