1ST Borneo International Conference

on Science and Mathematics
Education
Internationalising the Future Generation through
Science and Mathematics Education

21st to 23rd September 2015

Universiti Malaysia Sabah | Kota Kinabalu |
Malaysia

INTRODUCTION
This conference intended to gather science and mathematics educators,
academics, and researchers to discuss and address issues in the
improvement of science and mathematics education in the 21st century.
The development of the young generation in their ability to think
scientifically and apply science and mathematical knowledge for the
benefit of humanity is the main focus of this conference. Besides that,
this conference also provide more opportunities for science and
mathematics teachers especially from the East Malaysia who have less
opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skill, since there is limited
such conference held periodically in the East Malaysia. In keeping with
the dynamics nature of science and mathematics education and the
rapidly changing global environment, conference is the best platform to
encourage the application of appropriate methodologies and techniques
from many disciplines which related to science and mathematics. It
encourages comparative research into national higher education systems
globally. It also publish and exchange information with respect to
institutions with a view to illuminating current and developing issues of
common concern and raising the standard of science and mathematics
education management, planning and policy development at all levels.

reviewers on the basis of the significance of the paper, appropriateness
for the conference, quality of the research (conceptual, theoretical,
design, analysis) and the quality of writing (organization, clarity, and
style). This presentation format allows for 20 minutes of individual
presentation time followed by a 10 minute discussion moderated by the
