Objectives of Science Teaching
Constructivist Teaching
Learning takes place when there is a change in the learner’s existing ideas, either by adding some new knowledge or by reorganizing what is already known. There are three useful approaches to constructive science teaching.

1. Teacher demonstrates the unknown event
2. Teacher leads discussion and identifies examples drawn from student experiences
3. Students conduct the event and discuss the event

Characteristics of constructivist teaching

• Prior awareness of the ideas that students bring to the learning situation
• Clearly defined conceptual goals for learners
• Use of teaching strategies which challenge or develop the initial ideas of students
• Providing learners with opportunities to use the new ideas
• Providing a classroom atmosphere that encourages students to suggest and discuss ideas
• (1) a statement of what students will be able to do when a lesson is completed,
• (2) the conditions under which the students will be able to perform the task, and
• (3) The criteria for evaluating student performance.
• While goals describe global learning outcomes, learning objectives are statements of specific performances that contribute to the attainment of goals. Learning objectives should help guide curriculum development, instructional strategies, selection of instructional materials, and development of assessments
