I was recently reading the May/June 2023 issue of “The Science Teacher” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the “Editor’s Corner” column, written by Ann Haley MacKenzie. She wrote an article entitled, “Promoting Scientific Literacy in the Science Classroom.”
This is the second of a two-part podcast series on Scientific Literacy. In this podcast we will look at the strategies for encouraging scientific literacy:
1. Incorporate real-world examples
2. Encourage critical thinking
3. Provide hands-on learning opportunities
4. Use many kinds of media resources
5. Address misconceptions
6. Collaborate with community resources
7. Creating a culture of making student thinking visible
