GNSC 0560 - Methods of Science Education Pre K-6 (Beginning Spring 2009)
Credits: 2
An activity-based format will be used to create a learning environment that fosters an exploration of the processes of science, and ways of integrating elementary instruction in the sciences and mathematics. Emphasis will be placed on the role and use of manipulatives in a laboratory setting that encourages the development of fundamental concepts in both disciplines. Topics may included: scientific inquiry and science process skills, cognitive development theory, the learning cycle, discussion of innovative programs that integrate mathematics and the sciences, state and national frameworks, and techniques for assessment. Students will be required to complete a semester project.
Prerequisites: MATH 0150, and science courses required for early childhood, elementary, and special education licensure, or permission of the instructor.
Three contact hours per week, including substantial laboratory/activity time.
