EDSE20010  Secondary Science Education II

The principles identified in Secondary Science Education I are extended to a wider range of situations and contexts in this course. The emphasis is therefore on making those principles useful in a practical way in a range of science teaching contexts. Particular contexts addressed include different teaching situations (laboratories, field trips), individualising learning, exceptionality in students, girls in science, and effective science teaching and learning practices effectively. Aspects of curriculum and planning such as curriculum organisations for general science, science and technology, and assessment alternatives are also examined.
