Capacity building requires that university students learn physics efficiently and effectively, and that pre-university physics teachers understand how to teach their students well. Over the past 20 years university education in physics has made major changes as a result of two related phenomena. First, through careful investigation of the teaching and learning of physics (Physics Education Research) we learned much about the difficulties that students have when learning physics and have developed approaches to address these difficulties. The results show that we can increase the number of students who learn physics well by increasing significantly the amount of student interactivity in our physics courses. Second, technology has provided new ways to help students learn physics. The technology includes general purpose items such as the Internet and productivity software, but also specialized equipment to enable laboratory measurements at all levels via computer interfaces. The education strand at the Forum will briefly explore these areas as well as the development of teachers who are aware of the news ways of teaching.
