Emphasis is placed on analysing scientific events from a number of different perspectives.
Attention is paid to the implications for teaching school.
You are expected to construct new meanings about science. With new perspectives, you will be able to see the world as your future students typically see the world. This will help you survive and thrive as a classroom teacher. The content of Edcur 421 corresponds to content found in the Saskatchewan Science Curriculum, but content not taught in most University science courses, even though you will be expected to teach it to your students. The readings either supplement lectures or serve as preparation for class discussions.
