The Association for Science Education (ASE) is thrilled to announce its Annual Conference, set to take place from January 4th to 6th, 2024, at the University of Northampton. In collaboration with AQA, this year’s conference will feature a rich variety of sessions, including international contributions, a fantastic exhibition, and exclusive offers for attendees. As always, ASE continues to provide invaluable content for science educators across all stages.

Each day of the conference has a special focus. Thursday will be dedicated to Post-16 education, with a spotlight on those leading and delivering professional development through the Futures Group programme. Friday offers an exciting dual focus with Technicians Day and Early Career Teacher Day. Throughout all three days, sessions will be available for both Primary and 11-19 educators, ensuring comprehensive coverage for all teaching stages.

One of the highly anticipated sessions is led by Dr. Alexandra Okada, who will present on Friday, January 5, 2024, from 08:45 to 09:35 GMT in LH115 (Learning Hub Level 1). Her presentation, “Effective Connection with Science through Open Schooling and Storytelling”, will explore how the CONNECT-science questionnaire assesses students’ emotional engagement with science. Additionally, she will highlight how the powerful story “Our Green Library: CARE-KNOW-DO” serves as a catalyst for fostering students’ passion, scientific knowledge, and actionable insights. Dr. Okada’s session is a part of the EU-funded CONNECT-science.net project and the UK Green-Forum, which works closely with both primary and secondary schools to inspire the next generation of scientists and environmental stewards.
