Science
a. Constructivism
b. Social Cognition
c. Learning Styles
d. Brain-based Learning Theory
e. Experiential Learning
f. Situated Learning
g. Reflective Learning
h. Discovery Learning
i. Cooperative Learning

11. Brain-based Learning Theory
Principles:
1. The brain is a parallel processor.
2. The search for meaning is innate.
3. The search for meaning occurs through “patterning”.
4. Emotions are critical to patterning.
5. Learning is enhanced by a challenge and inhabited by
threat.

12. GUIDING PRINCIPLES IN THE TEACHING
OF SCIENCE
1. Constructivist principles
2. Discovery Principles
3. Brain-based Principles
4. Collaborative Principles
5. Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles

13. THE INQUIRY-BASED
APPROACH
1. Learner engages in scientifically-oriented question.
2. Learner gives priority to evidence in responding to
question.
3. Learner formulates explanation from evidence.
4. Learner connects explanations to scientific evidence.
5. Learner communicates and justifies explanation.

15. Science is a process. Teachers are
advised to teach Science by doing
science not only by knowing science
concepts.
