  Taxonomy of science education ( Mc Cormack and Yager) Science has been given an important place in the curriculum because of some special values provided only by science & not by any other subjects. The view that the processes of science are important as the product has come into science education. According to the taxonomy of science education formulated by Mc Cormack and Yager science education emphasize five domains. They are: 1.    Knowledge domain (Knowledge & understanding) 2.    Process domain (Exploring & discovering) 3.    Creativity domain (Imaging & creating) 4.    Attitudinal domain (Feeling & valuing) 5.    Application domain (Using & applying) 6.    Nature of science domain (AAAS-1990, American Association for the Advancement of Science) KNOWLEDGE DOMAIN Science students are expected to know scientific principles and available scientific facts.

Bloom's Revised Taxonomy Lorin Anderson, a former student of Bloom, and David Krathwohl revisited the cognitive domain in the mid-nineties and made some changes, with perhaps the three most prominent ones being (Anderson, Krathwohl, Airasian, Cruikshank, Mayer, Pintrich, Raths, Wittrock, 2000): changing the names in the six categories from noun to verb forms rearranging them as shown in the chart below creating a   processes and levels of knowledge matrix Among other modifications, Anderson and Krathwohl’s (2001) revision of the original Bloom’s taxonomy (Bloom & Krathwohl, 1956) redefines the cognitive domain as the intersection of the Cognitive Process Dimension and the Knowledge Dimension. This document offers a three-dimensional representation of the revised taxonomy of the cognitive domain.   Although the Cognitive Process and Knowledge dimensions are represented as hierarchical steps, the distinctions...

Professional Development of Physical Science Teachers

    Professional Development of Physical Science  Teachers       Physical Science Teachers engaged in her professional development throughout her career as a teacher. Her learning and professional development does not end the completion of pre­service education programme. She needs to continue her growth for enhancing her effectiveness as a science teacher. learning is a continuous process and teacher herself is a lifelong learner. A teacher of physical science needs to remain ith the completion of pre­service education programme. She needs to continue her growth for enhancing her effectiveness as a science teacher.        One of the main reasons behind it is that knowledge in science and its applications are ever expanding. Approaches to teaching ­learning of science are being continually improved and made innovative as a result of researches in science education and educational psychology. New and better apparatus and kits are being de...
