http://syarafina-teach-science.blogspot.com/2011/03/science-process-skills.html
Thursday, January 27, 2011. Hello everybody. Well, we're now in Week 4. I hope u guys are in a good shape. =). In this post, I'll summarize what I've learnt in class. It was about Science Process Skills (SPS). Science process skills enable students to formulate their questions and find out the answers systematically. SPS has 12 items and it can be divided into 2 parts, which are Basic SPS and Integrated SPS. However, lets have a look each of them in general. Measuring and Using Numbers. Defining all vari...

Method of Teaching Science: Scientific knowledge and Teaching concepts
http://syarafina-teach-science.blogspot.com/2011/03/scientific-knowledge-and-teaching.html
Saturday, January 22, 2011. Scientific knowledge and Teaching concepts. Before this, we've learnt that science consists of 3 elements, which are scientific knowledge, scientific skills and scientific attitude. So, on today's lecture, we learn about scientific knowledge and teaching theories. Scientific knowledge has 4 DIFFERENT items in it. They are facts, concepts, theories and principle. They might look the same, but they are actually different! So, lets define them to have a better understanding.

Method of Teaching Science: Constructivism
http://syarafina-teach-science.blogspot.com/2011/01/constructivism.html
Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Constructivism is an epistemology, which it is a way of thinking to gain knowledge, or it is a process of building on knowledge known by students. As known, education is supposed to be student centred, where the student has to construct their own knowledge. Hence, it can be said that, learning is an active process.

Method of Teaching Science: Behaviourism - Classical and Operant Conditioning
http://syarafina-teach-science.blogspot.com/2011/03/behaviourism-classical-and-operant.html
Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Behaviourism - Classical and Operant Conditioning. Behaviorism is a branch of psychology which focuses on the study of observable behavior, with the accompanying belief that all human activities, from feeling an emotion to performing a physical task, are forms of behavior. The theory of operant conditioning is based upon the idea that learning is a function of change in behavior. Changes in behavior are the result of an individual's response to events (stimuli) that occur...
