Study Notes
Methods vs. Strategies in Science Teaching and Learning
- Methods are specific processes or procedures used in teaching, while strategies are broader plans or goals to achieve a learning objective.
Methods in Teaching Science
- Collaborative Learning: Fosters group discussion and teamwork to facilitate learning from peers.
- Use of Technology: Employs simulations, virtual labs, and interactive software to enhance understanding and engagement.
- Experiential Learning: Incorporates field trips, lab experiments, and nature walks to connect theory with real-world experiences.
- Lecture-based Instruction: Involves educators delivering systematic presentations of scientific concepts, though often resulting in passive learning.
- Demonstrations: Effectively illustrates scientific principles through visual presentations, enhancing understanding and fostering greater comprehension.
- Scaffolding: Breaks down complex concepts into manageable stages, providing support as students build their understanding.
- Lecture-Cum-Demonstration: Combines lectures with demonstrations to convey information, enhance understanding, and stimulate student interest.
- Project Method: Engages students in meaningful projects, like building models or conducting experiments, promoting exploration and application of scientific knowledge.
- Laboratory Method: Allows students to conduct experiments under teacher supervision, encouraging active participation and engagement.
Approaches/Strategies in Teaching Science
- Inquiry Approach: Encourages students to explore and ask questions, sparking curiosity through a puzzling event (e.g., a light bulb blowing out).
