Dear colleague,
Warm Greetings!
It is indeed a pleasure to share the details of a mega event that all of us are waiting for: 26th Biennial Conference of the Asian Association for Biology Education (AABE) at Goa, India.
The 26th Biennial Conference of the AABE to be held in Goa, India from September 20-23, 2016 has ‘Trends in Biology Education and Research: Practices and Challenges’ as its theme. The challenges today in Biology education have roots in education policies that largely resulted in alienation of teachers who otherwise could be active contributors for improving the educational outcomes. Networking between school/college teachers and scientists from higher research centers could facilitate to address questions in Biology Education and Research, on an ongoing basis, resulting in cutting edge Biology Education Research in the future. Hence, the focus of this conference is to bring about collaboration among all the above stakeholders in the Asia-Pacific region.
