2007年世界科学与技术教育大会于2007年7月9日至12日在澳大利亚西澳洲帕斯市召开，参加此次会议的科学与技术教育工作者达1000多人，来自全世界50个国家。与会者深信科学与技术对于可持续的、负责任的、全球性的发展具有重大意义，需要弥合科学技术与公众之间的距离。因此，我们全体与会者：

对于科学教育作为达成国家教育目标和满足社会与经济需求的手段缺乏共识表示关切；

观察到学生对于当前学校的科学与技术教育普遍缺乏兴趣，对这种教育与他们个人的关系普遍缺乏认识；

注意到许多国家缺乏专业的科学与技术教师；

并且认为，科学与技术及其应用的快速发展必须反映在科学与技术的规划、教学与学习之中。

因此，大会一致决议向各国政府提出如下倡议：

 通过建立与国家利益共享者（national stakeholders）以及媒体之间的伙伴关系，促进公众理性地认识到科学与技术对于个人、社会、经济与环境改善的贡献；

 进行学校科学与技术课程的修订，增强学生对科学与技术的兴趣，使他们认识到科学与技术在社会中的作用；

 从小学低年级开始，促进学生认识学习科学与技术对增加职业机会的作用；

 招聘大学毕业生从事科学与技术教学，通过适当奖励措施，激励、支持并留住他们在教育岗位上；

 提供资源，促进科学与技术教师持续的、有效的专业发展，以满足学生变化的需求与社会的热切期望；

 认识到并支持科学教师协会在创建高质量的科学与技术专业学习化共同体方面的重要作用；

 提供资源开发实用有效的评价过程，使学习者获得必需的生活技能，达到学业与职业标准，实现个人抱负；

 为因应当前与未来的挑战，参与更多的国际合作，以保证有足够的受到良好训练的科学与技术教师；

 呼吁联合国教科文组织整合其科学与技术教育的措施，努力实现教育、环境、文化、社会及可持续发展目标。

我们全体与会者致力于使学生具有科学与技术素质，能够在他们各自国家为可持续的、负责任的、全球性的发展做出贡献。

The Perth Declaration on

Science and Technology Education

We, the participants at the 2007 World Conference on Science and Technology Education, held in Perth, Western Australia, 9 - 12 July 2007, and comprising more than 1000 science and technology educators from 50 nations worldwide; believing in the importance of science and technology for sustainable, responsible, global development, and in the need to bridge the gap between science and technology and the public.

Express concern at the lack of recognition of science education as a vehicle for meeting national educational goals, and social and economic needs;

Observe a widespread lack of student interest in current school science and technology education and of its relevance to them;

Note the shortage in many countries of specialist teachers of science and technology;

And consider that the rapid changes taking place in science and technology and their applications must be reflected in the planning, teaching and learning of science and technology.

Resolved to recommend to Governments:

• To promote critical awareness of the contribution of science and technology to personal, social, economic and environmental wellbeing through building partnerships with national stakeholders and the media;

• To initiate revisions of the curriculum for school science and technology that will increase student interest in and recognition of the roles of science and technology in society;

• To promote from the primary years onwards the career opportunities that stem from the study of science and technology;

• To recruit graduates into science and technology teaching and to value, support and retain them with appropriate rewards;

• To resource and promote continuous, effective professional development for science and technology teachers in order to meet changing student needs and societal aspirations;

• To recognise and support the significant role of teacher associations in building a quality professional learning community for science and technology;

• To resource the development of relevant and effective assessment processes so that learners achieve essential life skills, meet academic and vocational standards and personal aspirations;

• To engage in greater international cooperation to ensure the provision of well-trained science and technology teachers to meet current and future challenges;

• To call on UNESCO to integrate its science and technology education endeavour as fundamental to achieving educational, environmental, cultural, social and sustainable development goals.

We, the participants, are committed to ensuring that students are scientifically and technologically literate and able to contribute to sustainable, responsible, global development in their respective nations.
