This subject assists students to learn and teach science and technology in the primary school. Throughout this subject, students are encouraged to articulate, reflect on and develop their personal theories of learning and teaching science and technology in the primary school. Students develop their understanding of the nature of science and technology, of modern theories of learning and teaching science and technology, and of research that informs those understandings. Students learn how to access information in a variety of forms from a range of sources and how to critically evaluate information and ideas – a preparation for lifelong learning and for developing scientific, technological, information and language literacies. The subject locates learning and teaching in intellectual, practical, creative, social, gender-inclusive and culturally sensitive contexts.
