Undergraduate coursesThis course deals recent approaches to science teaching and in particular Earth and environmental sciences; e.g. how to teach using critical thinking, scientific reasoning and discussions with the class room rather than narrative teaching. How to use illustrations: fossils, rock and mineral specimens, maps, compass, …etc. Encouraging the teacher to conduct field trips and to get his samples from the local environment nearby his school. How to evaluate the students through teaching them the various types of examination questions. Working in groups and its importance, how to conduct an experiment and write its report, how to write report in general, present and discuss it, student file for their activities throughout the year.
