Provides an introduction to science teaching with a biology focus at the Intermediate-Senior levels that will allow teacher candidates to explore and experience active, student-centred learning. Meaningful and relevant learning activities will be used to help teacher candidates think metacognitively about how they can help their students understand the nature of science and how it is linked to technology, society and the environment. Teacher candidates will integrate their practical knowledge and skills with research in education in order to progress from a concern about teaching to a concern about supporting and judging the quality of student learning.
