Upgrading Teachers on Strategies and Approaches in Teaching Science

by MARLYN C. CASABAR (Organizer/Proponent)

 

Mrs. Casabar discusses the seven  best strategies
in teaching Science.

Teaching strategies and approaches in Science are unique in nature because they require collaborative learning, experimenting, observing and the use of the Science processes. The objectives of the LAC session conducted in Dumayat Elementary School on February 12, 13 and 14, 2020 were described as an “escaped route” or a “away out” for the learners and teachers because Science is “learning by doing”. This three-day activity seeks to achieve the use of   different strategies and techniques in teaching Science in the elementary level and equipped teachers with necessary skills on how to make Science learning more meaningful, engaging and interesting.
