Course description
This course provides pedagogical content knowledge and curriculum knowledge for prospective primary teachers in the Science learning area. A variety of contexts are used to explore a range of appropriate teaching models, and authentic assessment techniques in line with current approaches to teaching in the primary school. There is emphasis on the integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) into all areas of teaching practice as well as integration of topics between key learning areas. No specific science content knowledge background will be assumed. However students are expected to work outside class, expanding, critically examining and developing their science knowledge.
