Science For Educators
Description
In this focal study, students learn about the scientific endeavor by studying the specific content, concepts and methods of a particular field of science as well as the historical or philosophical framework of Science. Together with an introduction to Education, this serves as a foundation for science education. Education and Learning majors would find particular advantage in this focal study since they will be helping to teach general sciences in their future classrooms.
