Selected Papers from AISL 2021 Conference on Improving Scientific Literacy through Interdisciplinary Research on Technology-Enhanced Practice

Dear Colleagues,

The 2021 iteration of the AISL conference on Improving Scientific Literacy through Interdisciplinary Research on Technology-Enhanced Practice will be held at Beijing Normal University. Supporting all students in developing the scientific literacy needed to meet personal, national and global challenges is the major goal of 21^st century science education. To meet this important goal, it is important to rethink and reconceptualize the vision of scientific literacy and to draw on the possibilities that this century offers in terms of technology-based approaches to improve the teaching and learning of science and its assessment. These technologies not only include new and innovative technologies that may be used in the teaching and learning of science and its assessment, but also technologies that can help better understand the teaching and learning of science and its assessment from a research perspective.

This Special Issue on "Selected papers from AISL 2021 Conference on Improving Scientific Literacy through Interdisciplinary Research on Technology-Enhanced Practice” is expected to select excellent papers presented in AISL 2021 and other high-quality papers on the topic of sustainability. The Special Issue links several disciplines, including science education, neuroscience, educational technology and the social sustainability of human beings. Our aim is to encourage researchers to publish their experimental and theoretical research relating to scientific literacy assessment and learning of science. Potential topics include:

• Sustainable STEM education.
• Sustainable technology for STEM education.
• Sustainable technology-enriched assessment.
• Socio-scientific issues and social sustainable development.
