Course Title: Practical Work in Science Teaching (Lower Secondary)
Course Summary
Practical work is a defining feature of science education, distinguishing it from many other subjects. It enables students to actively engage in hands-on activities that strengthen their grasp of theoretical concepts while fostering critical scientific skills such as observation, experimentation, problem-solving, and creative thinking.
This course is designed to prepare trainee science teachers to effectively plan, organize, and deliver practical lessons at the lower secondary school level. It emphasizes the strategies, methods, and resources needed to integrate practical activities into classroom instruction. By the end of the course, trainees are expected to demonstrate mastery of the relevant science content, design lesson plans, and apply effective approaches to practical teaching.
