A Cross-Faculty Symposium on Science Teaching and Learning:
Linking Theoretical and Practical Perspectives

Faculty of Science and Faculty of Education
University of Ottawa, Monday May 8, 2017 in Lamoureux 477

This inaugural cross-Faculty symposium will be a venue allowing for communication and collaboration between our two Faculties, in order to share and discuss our theoretical and practical approaches to science education at uOttawa. The reasons for such meaningful exchange between participants would be threefold, to: (i) lead to greater knowledge mobility across our related fields – i.e. science and education; (ii) improve the learning experiences of our undergraduate and graduate students; (iii) foster joint research projects between members of our faculties.

 Coffee, snacks and a light lunch will be served.
