Adriana de la Cruz Molina, IANAS Executive Secretary, introduced the new IANAS-SEP website, with a brief demonstration of its potential for sharing information/ articles/ videos.: http://216.59.5.83/~ianas/home.html 11.00-11:30 Coffee break 13:30-15:00 Lunch 5. Report of each country´s Focal Points The Academies made oral and power point presentations to inform about the activities, all of them commented on their own programs progression and achievements, the same about the difficulties each program is presenting. All of the power points presentations are going to be posted on the IANAS´s Web page. 15;00-16:30 PROPOSAL STARTING 2012 6.IBSP-UNESCO. Presented by Dr. Jorge Allende: Course on Molecular Biology for Secondary teachers. They propose giving courses to secondary teachers. The objectives of the program are: 1. Update and make thorough the comprehension of the four basic concepts in Molecular Biology and the Genomic in Secondary level Biology teachers in Latin American Countries. 2. To adapt experimental demonstrations about this concepts to the inquiry methodology. 3. To give materials and ideas that the teachers con use when teaching important concepts in Molecular Biology. They have already organized courses in Molecular Biology for teachers of Chile, Argentina and Costa Rica. This course has been divided in 15 hours of theory and 25 hours of experimentation. It has been planned to do three of these courses in Mexico, Costa Rica and Chile with 20 secondary level teachers. Previous to the launching of this program there will be a pilot program in Chile. The four basic concepts on which the program is going to work with are: Genetic Identity in Species and individuals, Genetic Code, Selective Cells, and Evolution. It was mention that they are looking for funds with the Welcome Trust, the Unión ˝Interamericana de Bioquímica y Biología Molecular“ and IANAS. 7-IANAS-RELAQ- Presented by Norma Nudelman: Green Chemistry for secondary level teachers. They proposal is an itinerary theoretical-practical course based in the inquiry methodology to be delivered with the collaboration of professors from Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Chile and Argentina. It is for addressed to teachers in secondary schools working with ECBI giving them theory and laboratory practices. The pilot program will be taking place in Brazil Argentine on 2012, followed in Brazil, Peru and Mexico in the subsequent years. Another thing that they are planning is to develop evaluation instruments for the Green Chemistry course. The course will include: Atmosphere Chemistry, Volatile Organic Solvents, Renewable Energy, Sustainable Organic Synthesis, Biodegradable Polymers, Green Industrial Processes. The laboratory practices include, Biotransformations with yeast, Microwave use, and Green production of decaffeinated tea. Contacts have been done with Dr. E. Juaristi (Mexico) the president of the RELAQ (Red Latinoamericana de Química) and some other RELAQ’s members.
There has been presented the necessity of capacitating a larger number of teachers, that because of different reasons they cannot receive the classes in situ. This form of education needs a lot of commitment and the wish of learning, losing the scary feeling that comes with the technology. The objective of the program is the joined venture of scientists and teachers, changing attitudes towards science and math. The curricular design includes 33 weeks plus an optional module. A prior course of 10 hours, 40 hours of math, Communication abilities for 37 hours plus the modules of science 1 and 2 of 40 hours each. The platform used is thru Moodle, each teacher has between 20 and 25 students. The course has homework’s and evaluations. The pilot program was launched in October 2009 with 350 primary teaches of all of Mexico, chosen by the Secretary of Education. Nowadays our Sysmail works with 300 mail per minute, is updated every minute. There is a videoconference given every month, with the use of a power point presentation. They work an evidence portfolio where you can find the different commentaries made by the teachers of the teachers. Actually they have 800 teachers following the program not only in Mexico but other countries of Latin America.
