| Summary: | Costa Rica’s current middle school curriculum is being migrated or is being modified to a system where students develop skills in observation, experimentation, research and inquiry, aiming to improve and update contents and methods.
We propose here a new approach to the curriculum based on the review of basic sciences in middle school and physics, biology and chemistry in diversified education. Where, simple nanotechnology or nanobiotechnology experiments and a short research guide for the scientific fair could be incorporated.
The proposal is to use nanotechnology as an educational tool to foster scientific interest and scientific vocations. |
