Overview

This course is considered a theoretical basis for the field education course in science teaching (biology) and focuses on the acquisition by students of the most important facts, concepts and skills related to the most important methods, means, strategies and methods of teaching science in the basic and intermediate education stages and biology at the secondary stage. This course is also concerned with identifying the nature of science and its philosophy - Identifying the general and specific objectives in teaching science and biology - Identifying the competencies of the basic teaching biology teacher - Acquiring the skill of planning daily lessons in biology lessons - Identifying the most prominent methods of teaching science in general and biology in particular - Identifying the most prominent skills of communication, dealing, classroom and laboratory management in teaching biology - Identifying modern teaching and technical means in science education in general, and biology in particular - Recognizing the importance of evaluation in science teaching And identify the most prominent methods of evaluating neighborhoods.
