Detail Programme
|
|
1. Philosophies
Our science - technology educations graduate should be able to transmit knowledge effectively and innovatively at the appropriate level (tertitary, secondary and primary) using all the means available. Thus the level of knowledge the graduate has is only secondary to the person's ability to effectively conveying his knowledge to his audience as proven by thoretical education research and class-room research.
|
 |
Our curricular activities aim to promote the delivery of initiatives to develop the creativity of learners. Our curricular activities provide learners with the opportunity to design an innovative idea which will have a sustained impact on improving science education. |
 |
Our curricular activities intend to promote and develop communication in the classroom not only among learners but also between the teacher and learners. Deriving from such a communication is the positive classroom environment that would better the teaching and learning process. |
 |
The content of our curricular activities is selected and organized to support the development of life-long learning and self-awareness of the learner. |
 |
Both our classroom and outdoor education activities are organized to engage learners in challenges which utilize skills such as collaborating, problem solving, and thinking, among many others. |
 |
Our curricular activities are built on learners’ current competence and aimed to enable learners to not only recognize individual differences but also to increase their competence. |
|
|
2. Objectives
