SCI 520 - Science Instructional Strategies and Techniques
In this course, the pre-service teacher builds on the pedagogical foundations set in SCI 510 and prepares for student teaching in the following semester. Greater leadership in Discover Lab programs and teaching assignments in local public schools is expected. Greater emphasis is placed on the integration of theory and practice, extension of scientific inquiry for diverse learners and assessment of student progress within the context of teaching. This course demands an inquiry into the nature of science and the nature of knowing. It requires one-half day per week of clinical practice with follow-up seminars, out-of-class meetings with classmates, and micro-teaching assignments in selected public schools.
