Principles of Learning Natural Science

The document discusses several principles of how students learn: 1) Students come to school with prior knowledge that may include misconceptions which teachers need to identify and correct by providing evidence. 2) Learning progresses from concrete to abstract experiences, as abstract ideas are more effectively learned through practical application. 3) Students learn best the skills they practice in new situations. Providing opportunities for students to apply and express their ideas and receive feedback enhances learning. 4) Students' expectations of their own abilities can impact their performance - high expectations can improve performance.

What students learn is
influenced by their existing
ideas
Students come to school
with a knowledge of the
topic they are about to
learn- some knowledge
are correct and some are
not.
Paul believed that spiders belong the group of
insects. This belief is based on what his mother
taught him. As a teacher, we need to do
something to correct his false belief by
showing facts and evidences to contradict his
ideas/ beliefs.
Progression in learning is
usually from the Concrete to
Abstract

Concrete
experiences are
more effective in
learning rather than
abstraction of ideas.
People learn to do well only
what they practice doing

If natural science
students are expected to
apply ideas in different
situations, then they are
required to practice
them in new situations.
Ana is used to solve basic
scientific equations during
her high school. In college
it is easy for her to solve
scientific equations that
are more complex.
Effective learning by
students require feedback
Learning takes place best when
students have opportunities to express
their ideas and in turn get a feedback
from their peers.
Give students time to participate and
express their own ideas and you as a
teacher will facilitate and give
feedbacks which are suggestive that
can enhance their ideas.
Expectations affect
performance
Students themselves
respond to
expectations of what
they can and cannot
learn.
Ana can do scientific equations very
well so she is confident in answering
problems but when it comes to English,
she does not excels and is not
confident in every English exams.
