  • PHYS 4040: Teaching of Secondary Science

    3.00 Credits
    Western Michigan University

    This course addresses the topics of teaching and learning of science at the secondary level. It is designed for those in secondary education who intend to be certified to teach the earth, life, or physical sciences (physics and chemistry) and focuses on the issue of how students learn science concepts and problem-solving skills in meaningful ways. The course develops models of effective instructional strategies designed to promote student learning and understanding of science concepts and processes. Practical methods for demonstrating, using models, planning laboratory experiences, managing science equipment, and safety concerns are developed and discussed. Students also work in discipline-specific groups to address issues unique to that area of science and the science classroom. Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisites: 15 hours of course work in a certifiable science discipline and ED 3020 which may be taken concurrently with this course. Cross-listed with SCI 4040. Credits: 3 hours
