Aims & Scope
The Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching (APFSLT) is a peer-reviewed and open-access online periodical (ISSN 1609-4913) dedicated to the effectiveness and interest of learning and teaching science subjects in schools. It was launched by the Science Department of Hong Kong Institute of Education on 10 July, 2000 with printed promotional leaflet mailed to all Science or Science-related teachers in over 1,300 secondary and primary schools in Hong Kong. The basic aim of this online periodical echoes with the vision of the Institute, namely "Optimizing each child's potential through the shared joy of learning and teaching", as well as some of the Institute's missions - to prepare and support teachers in professional development and to collaborate with schools on innovation and change in education. Since May 2016, the journal is hosted by the Department of Science and Environmental Studies, The Education University of Hong Kong because of the retitling of the university.
