K TO 12 SCIENCE CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Science education aims to develop scientific literacy among students that will prepare them to be informed and participative citizens who are able to make judgments and decisions regarding applications of scientific knowledge that may have social, health, or environmental impacts. The science curriculum recognizes the place of science and technology in everyday human affairs. It integrates science and technology in the civic, personal, social, economic, and the values and ethical aspects of life. The science curriculum promotes a strong link between science and technology, including indigenous technology, keeping our country’s cultural uniqueness and peculiarities intact. Whether or not students pursue careers that involve science and technology, the K to 12 science curriculum will provide students with a repertoire of competencies important in the world of work and in a knowledge-based society. The K to 12 science curriculum envisions the development of scientifically, technologically, and environmentally literate and productive members of society who manifest skills as a critical problem solvers, responsible stewards of nature, innovative and creative citizens, informed decision makers, and effective communicators. This curriculum is designed around the three domains of learning science: understanding and applying scientific knowledge in local setting as well as global, context whenever possible, performing scientific processes and skills, and developing and demonstrating scientific attitudes and values. The acquisition of these domains is facilitated using the following approaches: multi/interdisciplinary approach, science–technology society approach, contextual learning, problem/issue-based learning, and inquiry-based approach. The approaches

    Science plays an important part in the National Curriculum and providing pupils with valuable knowledge, understanding and the skills to investigate scientific theories in their continued education. Science is about following scientific methods in order to analyse and hypothesise on the findings. Devereux (2000, p5) states “Science essentially is about understanding. It involves reaching possible conclusions, exploring relationships and explanations between ideas and events.” I will be teaching a class of twenty six students, aged between five and six about life processes and living things. However I will be focusing on a particular group of six children who are within the Level 1 parameters (Appendix 1) and aiming towards achieving Attainment Target 1 by the end of the year.

    Research has shown that a curriculum that promotes cultural validity will positively influence a student's academic, social, and cultural growth, while also promoting a sense of identity (Demmert & Towner, 2003). In order to teach science in a meaningful way, the content of the curriculum must reflect the local community's culture, otherwise, the students may find the material unattainable (Aikenhead, 2001). A culturally sensitive curriculum will allow the students to view Western science as one way of understanding the world around them, without discrediting the Aboriginal science they are already familiar with (Aikenhead, 2001). If the integration of traditional ecological knowledge and western science is done in a culturally sensitive way, Aboriginal students will be able to learn Western science without losing their own cultural identity (Aikenhead, 2001). In other words, Aboriginal students will be able to see the world from two differing perspectives, and will learn the science curriculum while using their language and cultural perspectives to their advantage (Aikenhead, 2001). In order to effectively integrate Western Science and traditional ecological knowledge within the curriculum teachers must first create a safe learning environment, access local Aboriginal knowledge, and then respectfully implement it…

    Science is learning to discover. It is about questioning how things are created and continue to exist in the world. Science teaches one to look for answers through research, observation, and experiments. Students at this level will learn how to formulate a hypothesis, and through keen experiences prove and or disprove a theory. This form of exploration appeals to the curiosity and imagination of a six to nine years old child. Maria Montessori pointed out that every element in our world has some important task to perform. This task will not only satisfy its own need but also contribute to the need of others in the process. This is one of the many facets of cosmic education.…

    In the article “Put a Little Science in Your Life” the author, Brian Greene, expresses how science is such a magnificent study, but yet is not catching the attention of youth today. In today’s education system students aren’t looking at science in the big picture, but are merely looking at it as another course they are required to pass. Greene expresses to his reader’s that science is everywhere, and that everything created is somewhat made up of science. In the school room, teachers are given an agenda to follow and told to stick to that agenda. This agenda does not catch the interest of all, or any of the student’s in which they leave the class with a cold and/or dull feeling towards science. Greene expresses to his readers that Science is…
