EDU 4355 - Principles and Methods of Teaching Science

Credits: 3 hrs

This course combines methods of teaching with a survey of subject matter in the areas of science. Emphasis will be placed upon principles, techniques, and procedures that will form an articulate bridge between the learner and the competencies to be developed and the attitudes and appreciations to be gained. The problems and challenges in methodology will be treated objectively. Methods and their adaptations to scientific situations will be presented, discussed, and demonstrated. Effective methods that have been handed down through the ages, as well as current practices, will be noted. Prerequisite(s): Admission to Teacher Education Program. Grade: C or better.
