Reginald L. Goodwin – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The concept of nanotechnology has existed since Richard Feynman's inaugural lecture at the California Institute of Technology in 1959. As a coined term, the honor went to Norio Taniguchi in 1974. Since those two epochs, like any other STEM field, there are two significant concentrations: how to teach it and what it means epistemologically as a…

Huang, Tzu-Yang; Ku, Chih-Hsiung – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2019
The purpose of the research was to understand the public's social Image of emerging technology-- nanotechnology. Furthermore, the differences among different major students and the decision-making style in "self-evaluation and other-evaluation" were analyzed too. In this research, the social image was defined by three phases,…

Punnoose, Jibin Abraham; Halvorsen, Ken; Chandrasekaran, Arun Richard – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
There is a disconnect between the cutting-edge research done in academic laboratories, such as nanotechnology, and what is taught in undergraduate laboratories. In the current undergraduate curriculum, very few students get a chance to do hands-on experiments in nanotechnology-related fields, most of which are through selective undergraduate…

Feldman-Maggor, Yael; Tuvi-Arad, Inbal; Blonder, Ron – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Professional development courses help teachers integrate new content knowledge into the high-school curriculum. Designing practical online courses for this purpose is challenging, particularly in emerging fields such as nanotechnology. In this study, we evaluated such a course in three complementary dimensions: (1) knowledge, (2) the complexity of…
