Abstract

Nanotechnology is a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field with vast potential applications across various sectors, including medicine, electronics, and energy. Its integration into education presents both opportunities and challenges. To effectively teach nanotechnology, educators must foster knowledge-centered learning environments, promote interdisciplinary approaches, and provide early exposure to scientific research. Despite the increasing recognition of nanotechnology's importance, its successful integration into curricula requires addressing challenges such as the development of suitable teaching strategies, the dissemination of knowledge, and the training of educators. Key to overcoming these challenges is the need for continuous research, development of innovative instructional tools, and global collaboration to ensure the effective integration of nanotechnology education. Through these efforts, students can develop essential skills and scientific literacy, empowering them to contribute to the advancement of nanotechnology and its societal impact.
