Assignment Questions
Question 1
1.1. Discuss your science learning experiences. Did your science classes at school fascinate you?
Why/why not?
1.2 What do you consider to be the purpose of science education given the context in which you
are likely to be teaching? Do you think this has changed

1.3.1 What do you think a science teacher should know? Answer this question using the diagram
in the prescribed textbook on building a science teacher repertoire
Question 2
2.1 How was science achievement assessed when you went to school? Did it take your interests
and background into account?
2.2 Who had the control in your science classroom at school: the teacher, students, or both? Was
there any discussion about what to study? Discuss.
2.3 Were texts related to current events used at all in your science classroom, for example, the
newspaper articles about climate change and global warming?
2.4 How do you think this approach (in number 2.3 above) advantaged or disadvantaged you?

explain how it aligns with your view of teaching science?
3.2 Choose a theory and explain how it aligns with your view of teaching science?
