Book Description

It is essential to engage in scientific education of talented students as early as possible to develop the critical minds or scientific method judgments. There are multitudes of initiatives all around the world; and the number of these programs are steadily increasing. However, most of these initiatives are local programs connected to one or two motivated teachers or professors. They work in isolation, often struggling with the lack of resources and stay unrecognized to the general public. This situation was a trigger to establish an international network, called the Network of Youth Excellence (NYEX) in 2004. The members of this network are organizations with a proven devotion to promoting scientific research among young students (i.e. under the age of 21). All member organizations delegate a representative to the Board, which is the main decision making body in important issues. The Board selects the Executive Board by entrusting a chairperson and two vice-chairs among themselves. The Executive Board is responsible for implementing causes, making everyday decisions and coordinating network activities.

Book Description

This book offers an overview of programmes designed to support the learning of gifted and talented students in STEM subjects, both to allow them to meet their potential and to encourage them to proceed towards careers in STEM areas. The chapters from a range of national contexts report on perspectives, approaches and projects in gifted education in STEM subjects. These contributions provide a picture of the state of research and practice in this area, both to inform further research and development, and to support classroom teachers in their day-to-day work. Chapters have been written with practitioners in mind, but include relevant scholarly citations to the literature. The book includes some contributions illustrating research and practice in specific STEM areas, and others which bridge across different STEM subjects. The volume also includes an introductory theoretical chapter exploring the implications for gifted learners of how 'STEM' is understood and organized within the school curriculums.

Book Description

All papers have been peer-reviewed. This conference is focused on research activities on all areas of Optics, mainly in Latin-American and Iberic countries, but also in other countries all over the world as well. A specific session for Education in Optics is also included. The main interest of this conference is offering a general view of the present research activities and trends on Optics in the Latin-America area because all countries in the region with a significant activity in Optics were well represented, including senior and young researchers as well as graduated students talking about their PhD and MSc thesis work. Topics discussed included: atmospheric optics; color, vision and radiometry; diffractive optics; education for optics; guided optics; holography and interferometry; lasers and quantum optics; metamaterials; nonlinear optics; optical instruments; optical materials and applications; optical metrology; optical processing; optical spectroscopy; thin films.
