| Goals | Texperiments and activities related to science topics for 3rd and 4th-grade levels, using simple and inexpensive materials. Additionally, it seeks to raise awareness among teacher candidates that the focus should be on how an activity is conducted rather than what the activity is. |
| Course Content | The course focuses on developing primary teacher candidates' scientific process skills and inquiry-based questioning abilities within a science laboratory environment. Each week, a different science topic is explored, allowing teacher candidates to design and conduct their own experiments using simple and affordable materials. In this process: Scientific Process Skills: Teacher candidates actively practice essential scientific process skills, such as formulating hypotheses, making observations, collecting data, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions. Inquiry and Questioning: The course content aims to enhance candidates' abilities to ask meaningful questions and foster inquiry skills. Through these skills, they learn to pose questions that stimulate critical thinking and curiosity in students. Student-Centered Activities: The activities are designed not only to develop teacher candidates' own skills but also to equip them with the knowledge and practice to foster these skills in their future students. By the end of this course, teacher candidates will be able to evaluate their own learning processes and acquire the skills to plan effective science activities for students. |
| Learning Outcomes |
- Teacher candidates actively use fundamental scientific process skills such as formulating hypotheses, making observations, collecting data, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions while designing experiments. - Through these abilities, they learn to ask questions that inspire critical thinking and curiosity for research in students. - The activities not only allow teacher candidates to enhance their own skills but also provide knowledge and practice in how to foster these skills in their future students. - teacher candidates will be able to evaluate their own learning processes and acquire the skills needed to plan effective science activities for students. |
