SCE481 Methods of Teaching Science in the Primary Grades K-3

"What is good science teaching?" Students in this course will explore a variety of resources from which they will construct their own answer to this question. The nature of science itself, the National Science Education Standards, and appropriate pedagogy for learners in the primary grades are the criteria students will use in evaluating resources, methodologies, and conceptual frameworks studied. In addition, this course will demonstrate and provide practice in using appropriate technology and methods of adaptation for special needs children. Prerequisite(s): Admission to National College of Education 2 quarter hours
