Study Notes
Nature of Scientific Knowledge and Scientific Inquiry
- Science is a multifaceted concept, with varied interpretations and conceptualisations.
- Scientific knowledge is considered a body of concepts, laws, and theories.
- Scientific inquiry involves the processes of developing knowledge.
- Scientific knowledge is empirically based, involves human creativity, is subjective, and is subject to change.
- Scientific literacy is the goal of science education; it's the ability to use scientific knowledge for informed decisions.
- STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) is an integrated approach to education; combining these subjects for a better learning experience.
- Scientific inquiry has various forms or process, including descriptive, correlational, and experimental methods; each with its own characteristics
- Science is not just about the facts, it's about the processes, values, and societal context.
- Scientific knowledge is always evolving; it changes as new evidence and perspectives emerge.
- Nature of scientific knowledge (NOSK) and scientific inquiry (SI) should be addressed in science education.
- Different STEM disciplines have separate conventions for what constitutes knowledge.
- STEM is an interdisciplinary approach that needs appropriate teacher training and curriculum development.
- Scientific inquiry encompasses the process of investigations, data collection, and drawing conclusions, not a uniform method.
- Current reforms (e.g., NGSS) emphasize science practices.
- Scientific literacy isn't just about knowing facts; it's about using knowledge to make informed decisions, considering the nature of science and societal factors.
- There are differing views on the exact definition of scientific literacy, and different ways to convey this concept.
- How science knowledge is developed, and the factors that lead to its change are important for developing scientific literacy.
