Abstract

Teaching science means more than enabling students to acquire scientific knowledge. It is necessary to foster comprehension of a combination of content, processes, and characteristic attitudes related to the science topic being studied. Content includes abstract concepts, laws, and theories whereas processes include observation, classification, measurement, inference, prediction, and communication. The characteristic attitudes involve being curious and imaginative, being enthusiastic about asking questions and solving problems, and respecting for methods and values of science. Therefore, science teachers aim to focus on the development of these three dimensions among their students.
