Learn how to plan for science as practice |
|
Course synopsis |
|
This course is the second course aimed at helping science educators understand the construct of Science as Practice. Participants of this course would have knowledge of the characteristics of scientific knowledge, and how scientists know what they know. Building on that knowledge, in this nine-hour course, participants will familiarize themselves with the current debates scholars are engaged in regarding science as practice. They will also examine a proposed framework for science as practice and compare this with current construct of science as inquiry. Actual practices of science in science classrooms will also be shared with participants. Additionally, participants will work together in pairs to craft units of work using a science as practice framework. These units of work will be critiqued by other participants for improvement |
