Our society, in the midst of an information revolution, is driven more than ever by science and technology and demands critical thinkers alongside creative and innovative citizens. Scientific education should provide students with the transferable skills necessary to adapt to these demands. However, physics education remains largely traditional, with theory classes where students mostly take a passive role, and laboratories that require the following of a set ‘script’ rather than engaging scientific creativity.
This meeting aims to invite the physics community to join education innovators in a much needed discussion: What transformations do we need to bring about in order to effectively encourage critical thinking and creativity, and how can we implement those changes successfully?
