EDST459 Science Teaching and Learning 2

10 cp

This unit is designed to provide participants with strategies for planning, implementing and monitoring learning experiences for students studying sciences in the secondary school. Assessment of learning, both formative and summative, and the importance of language use in learning will be underlying themes. The unit will build on documents relating to curricula in each of the sciences. Use of technology, different modes of assessment, and the place of innovative approaches to teaching science is promoted. Methods by which science can incorporate various curriculum perspectives such as gender, multiculturalism and the environment are considered.
