Book of the Upanishads is a book that can guide students to improve Sradha and Bhakti presented to Ida Sang Hyang Wasa Widhi. Upanishad is taken from the word "Upa" (near), "Ni" (Under), "Sad" (sit), so Upanishads means sitting under nearby. A group of students sitting near the teacher to learn the teachings of the Upanishads, reviewing the most essential issues and convey to students near them. This Upanishad it is a philosophical review of the Vedas, because every part of the review by the Upanishads Vedas, Upanishads thus derived contents and refer to the Vedas. education antiquity held in pesraman-pesraman or solitary place away from the crowds unlike now where the different methods and systems already using the system class. Along with the development of science and technology education pattern began to develop it, but it would be nice if such technological progress offset by an increase in human resources to the development of technology is not abused and still refers to the teachings of the religion, so it is important for the teacher to inculcate patterns of previous education contained in the Upanishads directed to students so that lessons and more easily understood by students. It is also important for a teacher to instill confidence in the Lord to the students, because the trust and of understanding the existence of Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wasa will give rise to positive thinking finally able to be applied by the students into a concrete action in accordance with the rules of religion.

Higher education and research for socioeconomic development are well recognized in developed and developing countries. Studies have shown that a high participation rate in higher education with a high share of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education is critical for competitiveness in the global market. Nepal would not fulfill people’s aspirations for prosperity by perpetuating the status quo scenario of the education system. This study aimed at exploring and assessing the factors influencing science and technology education in Nepal and tried to assess the current status of science education and critically examine the factors affecting the development of science education in Nepal. The study used both primary and secondary data. The primary source of data is from interviews, observations, focused group discussions, and semistructured questionnaires. Secondary data were collected from National Examination Board, universities, colleges, and campuses. The study found a decreasing trend of student enrollment in science and technology (S&T) education in Nepal. In addition, the results revealed a decreasing trend of women students, so it should be taken as a matter of concern. Some key bottlenecks identified were insufficient and broken physical infrastructures (classrooms, laboratories, and libraries); inadequate and incapable human resources; and improper management practices. However, the study results show positive perceptions of society towards S&T education in Nepal. The study recommends developing modern infrastructures, building human resources, and improving management practices for better S&T education.

ABSTRACTThis article explores issues and challenges in the field of education in nanoscience and technology with special emphasis with respect to India, where an expanding programme of research in nano science and technology is in place. The article does not concentrate on actual curricula that are needed in nano science and technology education course. Rather it focuses on the desirability of nanoscience and technology education at different levels of education and future prospect of students venturing into this within the economic and cultural milieu of India. We argue that care is needed in developing the education programme in India. However, the risk is worth taking as the education on nanoscience and technology can bridge the man power gap not only in this area of technology but also related technologies of hardware and micro electronics for which the country is a promising destination at global level. This will also unlock the demographical advantage that India will enjoy in the next five decades.

This paper proposes a science and technology education program to teach junior high school students to measure terrain changes by using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The objectives of the proposed program are to evaluate and use information technology by performing SAR data processing in order to measure ground deformation, and to incorporate an understanding of Earth sciences by analyzing interferometric SAR processing results. To draft the teaching guidance plan for the developed education program, this study considers both science and technology education. The education program was used in a Japanese junior high school. An educational SAR processor developed by the authors and the customized Delft object-oriented radar interferometric software package were employed. Earthquakes as diastrophism events were chosen as practical teaching materials. The selected events indicate clear ground deformation in differential interferograms with high coherence levels. The learners were able to investigate the ground deformations and disasters caused by the events. They interactively used computers and became skilled at recognizing the knowledge and techniques of information technology, and then they evaluated the technology. Based on the results of pre- and post-questionnaire surveys and self-evaluation by the learners, it was clarified that the proposed program was applicable for junior high school education, and the learners recognized the usefulness of Earth observation technology by using interferometric SAR. The usefulness of the teaching materials in the learning activities was also shown through the practical teaching experience.
