About This Course
Scientists and philosophers have often wondered about the nature of science? What makes scientific knowledge so robust? What are the processes involved in acquiring and validating scientific knowledge? What does it mean to 'think scientifically'? Can we teach children to be curious and think scientifically? NEP 2020 and draft NCFSE 2023 recommend that students should not only develop a sound understanding of scientific concepts but should also inculcate understanding about the nature of science. The course encourages teachers to think and build perspective about science along with performing experimentation and toy making in an inclusive classroom setting.
Course Objectives
At the end of this course teachers will be able to:
- Relate understandings of nature of science and scientific inquiry to inclusive teaching and learning of science.
- Connect experimentation and toy-making to inclusive pedagogies and practices.
- Critically analyse and curate teaching-learning material (such as textbooks and digital resources) appropriate for their classroom contexts.
- Design and implement inclusive lessons for teaching science to students of classes 6 to 8.
