Summary | Complementing the Science Education module, Science Education in Context will develop practice in working with schools. The module will include observation in both primary and secondary schools before working more closely with a specific age group. A journal will be kept throughout the school placement to encourage the development of reflective practice. Theory, practice and creativity will meet in the design, development and evaluation of an informal class science activity or workshop. |
