[Catalist] Reply to Errol Hunt’s EMAIL to me via ASTA

[Michael McGarry]

Greetings Errol,


Your Question: “I have an idea about teaching science in Australia, and I’d be really interested to hear what science teachers thought of it. Do you think that ASTARIX would be an OK forum for this? Could generate some discussion even if my idea isn’t actually a good one!”


My Answer: Given that peer review is an integral step in the scientific process, I encourage you to post your “idea about science teaching” to ASTA’s ASTARIX 2.0 e-Forum.


Also, given significant and evidenced decline in e-posts and replies on Science education research and pedagogy to STAWA’s e-forum CATALIST, ‘concerned’ WA science colleagues foresee these two important science e-forums degrading into science ‘e-bulletin boards’.


A recent perceptive e-post to STAWA’s e-Forum CATALIST by Leon Harris on STEM education in Australia, generated good discussion and debate and alerted us to this excellent URL: https://www.stem.org.uk <https://www.stem.org.uk/> [Thanks go to Roy Skinner.]

Michael John McGarry
