  • Motivate learning and help pupils pay attention to what is to be learned. Help them make connections with what they already know.

  • Revisit and reinforce what has been learned

  • Diagnose pupils’ needs, abilities and interests. Identify learning gaps, monitor their learning and provide timely and useful feedback for improving learning and self-assessment.

  • Teach language in authentic contexts of use and model its use. Let pupils learn through working collaboratively with the teacher and other pupils.

  • Facilitate discovery by prompting, posing questions and supporting the process by which pupils can learn about a skill, strategy, process or rule without prior or explicit instruction.

  • Explain and clarify a skill, strategy or process directly and systematically, in addition to teaching it in contexts of meaningful use.

 

 

Secondary Science

​

  • Engaging with an event, phenomenon or problem through posing questions, formulating hypothesis, defining the problem, generating possibilities and predicting.

  • Collecting and presenting evidence through observing, using apparatus and equipment.

  • Reasoning, making meaning of information and evidence through comparing, classifying, inferring, analyzing, evaluating and verifying.

  • Using processes of creative problem-solving, planning investigation and decision-making to inquire about phenomena around them by the following strategies (Brainstorming, Case Study, Concept Cartoon, Concept Mapping, Cooperative Learning, Demonstration, Field Trip, Projects, Games, Investigation, Learning Centres, Mindmapping, Model Building, Problem Solving, Questioning. 

​

Primary Science

 

  • Provide students with experiences which build on their interest in and stimulate their curiosity about their environment

  • Provide students with basic scientific terms and concepts to help them understand themselves and the world around them

  • Provide students with opportunities to develop skills, habits of mind and attitudes necessary for scientific inquiry

  • Prepare students towards using scientific knowledge and methods in making personal decisions

  • Help students appreciate how science influences people and the environment. 

  • Use a variety of strategies to facilitate the above (Concept Cartoon, Concept Mapping, Cooperative Learning, Demonstration, Questioning, Field Trip, Games, Investigation, Problem Solving, Projects
