In this course the senior high school science curriculum and subject specialism will be examined, with opportunities for planning, using new science teaching methodology. There will be peer group teaching sessions putting new methodology into practice. The main focus will be on new methods of teaching and being a reflective science teacher in the context of standard – based curriculum (SBC), focusing on the senior high school science contents.
