SCED 660 - Developing Expertise in Science Teaching

Institution:

SUNY at Fredonia

Subject:

Science Education

Description:

Students in the course will use a reflective approach based on research and classroom experiences, to examine three aspects of teacher knowledge that are known to contribute to science teaching expertise: Teachers' knowledge about their subject area, knowledge of student's understandings and preconceptions, and ways teachers design instruction by transforming their subject so that it is accessible to their students. The "teacher as inquirer" disposition will be fostered through the planning of projects to teach problematic concepts and investigate student learning. Developing ways to effectively assess student learning throughout the instructional process will be a focus in the class. A 50-hour field component is also a part of the course.
