Μελέτη των Πρακτικών που Αξιοποιούνται κατά τη Διδασκαλία των Φυσικών Επιστημών στο Δημοτικό Σχολείο

Abstract

Understanding science concepts is achieved through students' use of science and engineering practices. However, research studying the science and engineering practices that teachers use in their teaching is limited. This paper seeks to investigate whether and to what extent these practices are utilized when teaching science in primary school. Observations of science teaching in primary schools were conducted for 822 teaching hours. Using rubrics, the level at which each practice was utilized was determined. It emerged that in the lessons observed, the practices were not utilized or were utilized at a low level.
