FOREWORD
It gives me great pleasure to write the Foreword to this exciting book celebrating 2 giants in the field of Science Education as they formally bow out of the formal system. I congratulate Professor Emma O. Akuezuilo and Professor Sam O.C. Okeke. I am carefully choosing my words because they are bowing out of formal Science Education system. Because of their passion for Science Education, thy will still be around to provide guidance to the teeming and upcoming Science Educators.
This book is organised in 6 sections and has 42 chapters that are not evenly distributed due to the penchants of the various contributor who decided on what to write on. The book covered the gamut of what is important in Science Education. At the heart of Science Education is communicating Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in meaningful ways to learners. This explains why the section on Pedagogy and Students’ Achievement in Science, Technology and Mathematics Education had the largest number of Chapters. The contents of the other sections all bear relevance to achievement in STEM because in the end, the success of any academic program or venture is measured by the output.
I commend the various authors who rose to the occasion to write that chapters that make up this Festschrift in honour of our erudite scholars. I also commend the editors for their role in trying to make the various submissions readable.
I recommend this book to every Science Education Student and Science Education practitioner as this book will keep them abreast of the innovative practices in STEM, while pointing out the challenges they will likely encounter in trying out the methods proposed, most importantly, how to work around the challenges to achieve success.
