This is an integrated course which combines topics related to the senior chemistry curriculum with the skills and pedagogy of secondary science education. It includes principles of planning, assessment, and current educational research presented in the context of chemistry instruction. Course topics will include laboratory design and safety, the nature of science and science education (e.g., purpose, meaning, history, scientific process, nature of knowledge), generating interest and motivation in chemistry, lesson and unit planning, formative and summative assessment practices to support the learning of science, collaborative problem solving, classroom management, and fabrication and improvisation of simple chemistry teaching materials. Professional development of science teachers and recent developments in chemistry education will be reflected in the discussion.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Course Learning Outcomes<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>At the end of this course, you will be able to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plan and conduct laboratory-based learning in a safe manner to generate interest, build knowledge, and cultivate inquiry in students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Plan lessons based on the Kenyan Chemistry curricula (Form 3 and 4) that effectively integrate chemistry content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Select and adapt methods, materials, and resources available in the educational context to support meaningful chemistry learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Explain and exemplify the nature of science within the context of chemistry through meaningful hands-on student activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Integrate effective teaching and classroom assessment practices to support student learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Demonstrate a capacity to reflect on chemistry learning and teaching to improve one&#8217;s teaching practice and the quality of students&#8217; learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Explain and model attitudes and practices that include and support all students in learning science regardless of ability, gender, ethnicity, or background.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/dadaab\/files\/2015\/12\/full-course-outline-2.docx\" rel=\"\">full course outline<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instructor: Chris Campbell Course Title: Methods in Secondary Chemistry Course Description The goal of the course is to engage secondary science teachers in the critical exploration of inquiry-based science teaching using available resources.
