4. TEACHING
A specialized application of knowledge, skills and attributes
designed to provide unique service to meet the educational needs of the
individual and of the society. The choice of learning activities whereby the
goals of education are realized in the school is the responsibility of the
teaching profession.
6. âșWe feel that our abilities are well suited to teaching.
âșWe like the opportunities to work with young people; and
âșTeaching contributes to the betterment of society
7. HOW CAN THIS BE DONE SO THAT STUDENTS LEARN AND DEVELOP AN
APPRECIATION FOR SCIENCE, AND YOU PERCEIVE SCIENCE TEACHER
AS REWARDING CAREER?

9. âTHE MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY MADE BY SCIENTIST
WAS SCIENCE ITSELFâ
-JACOB BRONOWSKI
10. âIts goal is to find out how the world works, to seek what regularities there maybe, to
penetrate the connection of things â from sub-nuclear particles which may be the
constituents of all matter, to living organisms, the human social community and
to the cosmos as a whole. Our perceptions maybe distorted by training or prejudice
or merely because of the limitations of our sense organs which of course perceive
directly but a small fraction of phenomena of the world. Science is based on the
experiment, on a willingness to change the old dogma, on an openness to see the
universe as it really is. Accordingly science sometimes requires courage â at the very
least the courage to question the conventional wisdom.â

14. NATURE OF SCIENCE
âą Scientific knowledge is tentative.
âą Science is empirically based.
âą Science is inferential, imaginative and creative.
âą Science is subjective and theory laden.
âą Science is socially and culturally embedded.
- Science Learning Hub
15. NATURE OF TEACHING
âąTeaching looks easyâŠâŠ. From the outside.
âąEvery teacher is part of a system.
âąTeaching is goal driven.
âąTeaching is more than telling.
âąThere is agreement on what teachers need to know and be
able to do.
âąTeachers can be effective and yet not just alike.

âąThe social nature of learner.
âąEmotions are integral to learning.
âąRecognizing individual differences.
âąStretching all students.
âąAssessment for learning.
âąBuilding horizontal connections.
How can the learning sciences inform the design
of the 21st century learning environment?
Science teaching â artistic judgment about the best way to teach.
- how teachers respond with insight, sensitivity and judgement to promote learning
Grounded with scientific principles and a set of personal experiences and resources.
Give CONNOTATION about the word âTEACHINGâ
Way on how we are going to make our students realize that they are capable of doing incredible things.
In this case, the vision of all students in learning science is highly dependent upon the beliefs we have about science, pedagogy and students.
For variety of reason , weâve chose to be a science teacher.
In either case, Being a science teacher will require us to blend knowledge of science, pedagogy and how student learn.
When we look at the meaning of the word science in the dictionary , the usual definition is â knowledge, especially of facts and principles , gained by systematic studyâŠâ
Prominent scientist define science as a way of thinking much more that it is a body of knowledge.
One human quality that is important in science is courage.
If we put this in terms of oneâs willingness as Sagan said, to question conventional wisdom, then we are led to an important notion ; questioning all things is a fundamental value underlying thinking in science.
Ex. Nicolaus Copernicus - 16 th century polish scientist â questioned the conventional wisdom of the Ptolemaic universe,.
Science teaching is an art that requires a unique combination of knowledge and skills to engage students and foster their understanding
The art of teaching science presents science teaching as a dynamic, collaborative activity and highlights recent developments in research into excellence in science teaching.
It give emphasis to the pedagogy, curriculum and assessment.
Perhaps the discovery approach to learning itself is one candidate. Or perhaps the discovery that students donât learn science through direct instruction, rather they construct their own knowledge from formal and informal EXPERIENCES on their own or perhaps considering that all students are capable of learning
When we describe the nature of science , we are considering the special characteristics, values, and assumptions that scientific knowledge is based on and how scientific knowledge is developed.
Subject to change
Based on or derived from observation of the natural world.
Anyone can teach, earning a teaching credential is not as daunting as the sleepness nights of medical students
Closing the classroom door does not seal away outside influences.
Desire to help â light the candleâ or watch the â light bulb click onâ. Strive for positive differences in students life
An good lecture is a powerful tool but knolwege does not travel directly from the mouth of the teacher to the mind of the student. Students learn when they are provided the opportunity to experience the richness of science through active inquiry and with collaboration with peers and adults, as well as the tools to promote learning.
Behaviorist approach skinner, bandura, constructivist approach, Bruner and Piaget â students build knowledge rather than receive it, Multiple intelligence of gardner â people can be smart in different ways
There is a body of knowledge, attitudes and skills teacher may acquire. Cg
When we teach we offer gifts to our students â gifts that depend on our traits and triumphs as givers
The learning environment recognizes the learners as its core participants, encourages their active engagement and develops in them an understanding of their own activity as learners.
The L.E is founded on the social nature of learning and actively encourages well â organized co-operative learning.
The L.P within the L.E are highly attuned to the learners; motivation and the key role of emotions in achievement.
The L.E is acutely sensitive to the individual differences among the learners in it, including their prior knowledge.
The L.E devises programs that demand hard work and challenge from all but without excessive overload.
The L.E operates with clarity of expectations using assessment strategies consistent with the expectations, there is a strong emphasis on formative feedback to support learning.
The L.E strongly promotes â horizontal connectednessâ across areas of knowledge and subjects as well as to the community and wider world.
