About the Journal

The Australian Conference on Science and Mathematics Education, ACSME 2025 is an opportunity for tertiary science and mathematics educators to share ideas and keep up to date. Science and mathematics for this conference encompasses biological sciences, chemistry, geosciences, health sciences, information technology, learning and cognitive sciences, mathematics and statistics, molecular and microbial sciences, physics and psychology as well as the various fields of the applied sciences.

For more than 30 years ACSME conferences have brought together educators from around the country and beyond, to share good practice and discuss the latest developments relevant to the teaching and learning of science and mathematics. ACSME is a strong community of university teachers, educational researchers, tutors and students who share the joy, successes, disappointments and challenges of science and mathematics teaching at university level.

2025 ACSME theme: Shaping the future with STEM education

How does the teaching we do shape the future of our students? How does an education in STEM help our students shape the future?

As we hit the midpoint of a critical decade, we will consider our responsibilities as STEM educators to our students, to society and the planet we all share. What are (or could be) the impacts of a STEM education? How can our learning and teaching practices respond to or drive change? We look forward to grappling with these curly questions and more at ACSME 2025.
