The course is designed to meet the needs of the Pacific Island Science Educators. It provides opportunities for science teachers, science learners, advisors, curriculum developers and administrators in primary, secondary, technical and tertiary education institutions to explore contemporary issues and research in science education in some depth. The issues will centre around the science teacher, the science learner, the science classroom and the science curriculum. The course will have an international perspective, but will also look at problems and issues that are of particular concern in the South Pacific. The course provides students with opportunities to develop skills in reviewing Science Education literature and evaluating research studies. Students enrolled in this course are encouraged to pursue particular research interests and explore possible thesis topics.
