Description



This is a hybrid course. It is available to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The course content, delivery and assessment will be identical for both groups of students.


Subject Area: Education

Designed to prepare students for teaching the concepts and processes of science at the secondary level. Aims to assist students to develop skills in planning lessons, presenting demonstrations, using school science equipment, developing audio-visual aids and managing science classrooms. Demonstrates the use of a variety of teaching techniques. In addition, a range of resource material developed in recent projects in secondary science is introduced. Current syllabuses and ways by which they can be implemented are discussed. Important issues such as pupil preconceptions in science, assessment and evaluation, pupil differences, safety, and legal considerations for the science teacher are considered.

Note: Intended for students in combined Education degrees, years 3 and 4, MTeach and GradDipEd (Secondary) students only. A minimum of 24 units of credit in appropriate background studies is required.
