Teach Oz-e-Science Year F–6

Science

Teach Oz-e-Science Year F–6

Overview

This course aligns with the Oz-e-science curriculum program. Teachers and assistant teachers should complete this course before using the Oz-e-science program in the classroom. Oz-e-science is based on explicit, teacher-led instruction and scientific inquiry. The program has a heavy focus on science content knowledge involving exposure to examples, understanding the logical rules or principles underpinning the examples, and applying this understanding to novel examples. The program engages and teaches students in the practice of scientific inquiry. This involves learning about the scientific method and applying it to practical science research activities and simulations set out in the units. Oz-e-science teaches scientific inquiry according to the scientific method rather than using inquiry learning pedagogy. The learning pedagogy is explicit instruction.

 

Learning Intents

  • Communicate learning goals to school leaders,   colleagues,   and parents. (3.1.01)
  • Demonstrate techniques that engage students and deliver lesson components to fidelity. (3.1.02)

  • Understand how to extract student mastery data from curriculum, assessment, and reporting. (3.2.03)
  • Implement direct and explicit instruction lessons with fidelity. (3.2.08)
  • Implement all parts of direct and explicit instruction lessons.Review the delivery of direct and explicit instruction lessons,reflect on personal effectiveness, and articulate and set action for improvement. (3.2.09)
  • Apply classroom practices across all activities by setting clear behavioural expectations and facilitating routines, orderly transitions, and bell-to-bell teaching. (3.4.02)
  • Understand how to use mastery test data to assess student learning. (3.6.06)
  • Implement in-program and out-of-program assessments to evaluate student mastery levels. ( 3.6.06)
  • Apply family engagement practices down the village with parents to build a relationship between parents and the school. (3.8.01)
  • Demonstrate awareness of local Aboriginal and Torres Strait   Islander histories, cultures and languages in lessons and discussions with community members. (3.8.02)
