Practicum 2
This subject is designed to give students a basic understanding of
what is involved in the teaching of science and technology in the primary
school. Organisation of the subject is
based on the notion of a knowledge-building community with emphasis placed on
students monitoring and analysing their own learning in practical classes in
light of relevant readings from the research literature. In this respect, students will generate
their own understandings of learning in science and technology classes with
practical sessions and follow up discussions about implications for teaching.
