Topics in Science Teaching: Through the Visualization Lens (Truro)​​

In this studio course, we explore a number of key questions in science teaching and learning through the lens of visual representations (such as graphs, maps, symbols, diagrams, and photographs) used in science. 

This Studio Course will take place on the Truro campus and will run on June 29 and July 6, from 10:30 – 3:30, in Haley 254, on the Agricultural Campus.

The course is open to Dalhousie faculty members including part-time academics. Post-doctoral fellows or staff members who teach may also attend.

The Studio Course is project based. Completing the project will require certificate participants to submit two pieces of writing:

1.    A course module or detailed lesson plan incorporating the use of visual representations particular to that scientific discipline, designed through consideration of some of the key questions and issues discussed in the course.

2.    A reflection that comments on the participant’s thinking about science teaching in general and key questions/issues arising in the course, in particular how the module or lesson plan is designed to improve students’ learning and understanding of the course material, and how the module or lesson plan will fit into the course as a whole.
