| Abstract: | Mediated interaction with the world of work, especially business and industry, is increasingly seen, world-wide, as a valuable component of science and technology education. A recent WOCATE meeting held in Germany for senior educators, administrators, and industrial representatives aimed to stimulate international partnerships that explore the unity of academic studies and practical work and prompts a review of some European approaches to collaboration between science education and industry. In particular, the British experience favors a variety of agencies, including sponsorship from the professional associations of teachers, scientists, and engineers; substantial participation from industrial companies, individually and through associations; and much essentially voluntary activity by enthusiastic industrial scientists and teachers at all levels. |
