Course Learning Outcomes

The Learning outcomes course are to prepare prospective science teacher who can help science students learn through hands-on experiences and reflective minds. Current theories that explain how students learn science are discussed in appropriate details. Principals of learning are the applied to develop rational for developing science curricula. A critical review of major science curriculum projects is included to illustrate how the contents and modes of inquiry are integrated in the teaching learning process. The course work also provides ample instructional material on conduct of lab work, development of science projects and science fairs
