The Concept of Science
Education

Science education focuses on teaching,


learning, and understanding science.
The Concept of Science
Education
Teaching science involves developing ways on how effectively
teach science. Like exploring pedagogical theories and
models in helping teachers teach scientific concepts and
processes effectively.

Learning science, on the other hand, includes both pedagogy


and the most interesting aspect, which is helping students
understand and love science.
The Concept of Science
Education

Understanding science implies developing and applying


science-process skills and using science literacy in
deeply understanding science.
The Concept of Science
Education
John Dewey (2001), stressed the importance of utilizing
the natural environment to teach students. Accordingly,
nature must indeed furnish its physical stimuli to provide
wealth of meaning through social activities and thinking.

Science is going to be one of the most important school


subjects in the future (Marx, 1994).
Science Education
in Basic and
Tertiary Education
In basic education, science education helps students:
To learn important concepts and facts (Carale & Campo, 2003).
To develops positive attitude (Lind, 1997).

Science education will develop strong foundation for studying


science and for considering science-related careers in the future.
Science Education
in Basic and
Tertiary Education
In tertiary education, science education deals with:
developing students’ understanding and appreciation of
science.
preparing of science teachers, scientist, engineers, and
other professionals in various science-related fields.
Providing scholarship.
