SCED 404
The Nature of Science and Scientific Reasoning for Teachers

Prerequisities: Completion of at least three-fourths of the credential specialization courses for Single Subject Teching Credential in science and consent of instructor. Enrollment limited to students who intend to pursue a Single Subject credential in Science. SCED 404 has three aims. The first aim is that students better understand the nature of science -- its history, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. The second is that students better understand the methods of science and how to critically evaluate reports about scientific investigations. Finally, students learn how to apply these understandings to the 6-12 classroom (lecture 3 hours).
