Abstract

Based on my researches during the recent ten years, I will proceed to gather and digitize the teaching materials through integrating instructional units into thematic topic in science and mathematics for elementary school students. The instructional model is the BIG cycle based on a constructivist view of learning. It provides a planned sequence of instruction that places students at the center of their learning experiences, encouraging them to explore, construct their own understanding of scientific concepts, and relate those understandings to other concepts. These integrated instructional units interweave laboratory experiences with a series of science learning activities, including lectures, reading, hands-on and demo experiments, science history stories, animations, movies, and peer discussion. The study incorporates a means to enhance the knowledge base for science teaching profession, including subject matter, pedagogical content knowledge, and teaching strategies. Beyond the components designed for students, curricular materials can be designed to contribute to science teachers’ development of science subject matter, knowledge and the use of instructional models and strategies, and pedagogical content knowledge of science topics and inquiry.
