Teaching Ohm's law in Grade 11 Physical Sciences using a Multiple Representations Approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)The purpose of this study was to investigate the value of teaching Ohm's law in Grade 11 using a Multiple Representations Approach (MRA). The need to promote knowledge and skills in problem solving in Physical Sciences ... -
The application of cooperative learning to enhance the teaching of Nature of Science for scientific literacy advancement in secondary school physical science students
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)The purpose of this study was to explore, demonstrate and apply cooperative learning when explicitly exposing Nature of Science (NoS) to physical science secondary students aiming at advancing scientific literacy. Secondary ... -
The Effectiveness of the Use of Practical Work in Teaching Electric Circuits in Grade 11 Physical Sciences
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)There is a history of poor results in grade 12 physical sciences in South Africa. This underperformance is particularly evident in the Eastern Cape's rural areas generally and in previously disadvantaged schools in specific. ... -
The influence of language on the teaching and learning of Natural Sciences in Grade 7
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)It has been noticed in many schools that Grade 8 learners arrive in the secondary school with a big gap in their understanding of the meaning of science concepts. In science cluster meetings teachers identified science ... -
The influence of Practical Work in the teaching and learning of acids, bases and neutrals in Natural Sciences
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of practical work in the teaching and learning of acids, bases and neutrals, a section of the senior phase Natural Science curriculum. In regional meetings of science ... -
