The learning benefits of a knowledge systems approach to science
Rosemary Hipkins and Pauline Waiti:
Who should benefit if a knowledge systems element is added to the science curriculum? There is more than one way to answer this question. In this session we will look at several options and their possible consequences.
We will explain which rationale we support, and why. We see this conversation as a critical next step in thinking about the nature of science element of the curriculum, and how to weave this element more meaningfully with traditional curriculum content. In this way, it adds to the ‘science capabilities’ protype, addressing an important gap in that model.
