General Aims<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The programme enables primary science teachers to enhance their theoretical and real-world experience in science education including innovative primary science teaching pedagogies, curriculum development, assessment, inquiry, STEM Education, and basic research skills. The programme will prepare primary science teachers with the knowledge, skills and values needed to transform primary science education in line with the evolving needs of learners in the social and cultural context of Bhutan and the world. The programme will provide enriching learning experiences that allow students to develop sound scientific knowledge, enhance fundamental science process skills to promote scientific values and attitudes to cultivate scientific literacy. It is also intended to build strong educational foundations in pedagogical content knowledge, upscale classroom leadership potential for cultivating their ability to foster positive impact and create the conditions for meaningful learning and development. The programme will help students tackle promising and challenging tasks in innovating educational technology and develop powerful technological tools and resources to improve primary science learning outcomes. Through immersion in learning theories and pioneering research in education, the programme will develop their ability to teach children through evidence-based approaches and design strategies and interventions to promote student achievement in science. The programme will enable the students to initiate change in classroom practices and contribute towards enhancing the policies and practices of primary science education in schools.<\/span><\/p>\n

The programme aims are aligned with the standards and expectations outlined in the Bhutan Professional Standards for Teachers (BPST, 2020).\u00a0 As a result of their advanced and in-depth studies in the teaching of Primary Science, students will be able to analyse and offer critical perspectives on the primary science curriculum.<\/span><\/p>\n
