dc.description.abstract |
The purpose of this investigation was to establish the role of project work in the teaching of biology. Questionnaires were sent to biology teachers and judges of a project competition. Participants of this competition were asked for positive and negative aspects of project work. Teachers indicated that the entire range of objectives of biology teaching can be achieved by project work. Judges of Expo felt that most of the
objectives were achieved. Pupils expressed similar sentiments. However, teachers felt that...
(a) there were several factors which limited the use of project work as a regular teaching strategy.
(b) objectives concerned with inquiry skills, attitudes and values were difficult to achieve in normal classroom teaching.
It is therefore, imperative that educational authorities do all they can in promoting project work as a teaching strategy in biology. |
