Course Content (Syllabus)
Issues with respect to early and primary science education are examined. These deal with the construction of school science, learning theories in their connection with science activities for young children and with the role of curriculum in science teaching and learning. Emphasis is also laid on children’s mental representations and cognitive constraints as regards physics concepts such as thermal conductivity, evaporation, melting, friction, thermal expansion and contraction, sinking and floating etc. In that context, the course design seeks to enable students in organizing science activities based on young children’s conceptions.
