Naturvetenskap och Bilderböcker : Naturvetenskaplig Begreppsbildning och Grundläggande Naturvetenskapliga Matoder / Science and Picture Books : Science Concepts and Basic Science Skills

Skanse, Maria January 2010 (has links)
Preschool has a long tradition of using picture books, both as entertainment and as a resource for educational activities. In science there are two main application areas. The first one is science concepts and the second is to teach basic science process skills. These skills, observing, communicating, inferring, classifying, measuring and predicting reflects the methods used by scientists. Picture books potential to put science concepts and activities that promote the use of science process skills in a meaningful context, recommends using picture books for this purpose. However there is an issue about finding an appropriate selection of books, mainly when used for science concept formation. This study focuses on fictional picture books and discusses potentials and limitations of using them as a resource for preschool science. / I förskolan finns en lång tradition av att använda bilderböcker, både som underhållning och underlag för pedagogiska aktiviteter. Inom det naturvetenskapliga området finns två huvudsakliga användningsområden. Det första är naturvetenskaplig begreppsbildning och det andra är att använda bilderboken som utgångspunkt för att lära ut grundläggande naturvetenskapliga förmågor. Dessa förmågor, att observera, kommunicera, dra slutsats, klassificera, mäta och att förutspå, reflekterar det arbetssätt som används av forskare. Bilderbokens möjlighet att sätta naturvetenskapliga begrepp respektive aktiviteter som uppmuntrar barnen att använda naturvetenskapliga metoder i ett för barnen meningsfullt sammanhang, talar för att bilderboken används som utgångspunkt för detta. Ett problem som finns är att det är svårt att ta fram ett lämpligt urval. Detta gäller framförallt när bilderboken används som utgångspunkt för begreppsbildning. Denna studie är fokuserad på ett skönlitterärt urval, och diskuterar de möjligheter och begränsningar som finns med att använda skönlitterära bilderböcker som utgångspunkt för naturvetenskap i förskolan.

Teaching of scientific investigations by life and natural science educators in Bushbuckridge

Dlamini, Amos Paspas 31 August 2008 (has links)
The study describes the teaching of scientific investigations by Life and Natural Sciences educators in the Bushbuckridge Region in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. A quantitative survey method was exploited using a Cluster sampling method. The study was conducted a year after the introduction of the National Curriculum Statement in Grade 10, in South African schools. The study found that most educators use teacher-centred teaching methodologies rather than open inquiry in teaching scientific investigations. Schools still have a shortage of infrastructure, teaching resources and references, which make it difficult for the educators to shift towards the expected new system of teaching. Teachers are confronted with language barriers, heavy workload and insufficient retraining in the new curriculum. / Science and Technology Education / M.Ed.
