The best science instruction is manifested through successful collaboration, effective planning, and using research based instructional strategies. In combining these three elements, the success in science teaching instruction can be realized.
In school, the teachers in the science department must have a collaboration of the ideas or things to be implemented in the instruction of science. The science teachers must combine their brilliant notions together in order to come up with the best collation of scientific facts and knowledge to be taught to the science learners.
From the basic teaching instructions to the more complex and comprehensive scientific learning experiences, the science teachers should suggest and utilize the most appropriate and the most relevant subject matters or lessons that the students deserve to have.
With regards to planning the activities and undertakings, the science teachers must be systematic enough to plot the accomplishments of such learning experiences in order to be organized and to achieve better results or outputs. To facilitate the activities, the science teachers should bear in mind that science instruction must reinforce the learners to acquire skills for their own consumption and that the skills they will learn will be used by them, even up to the future.
In terms of research based instructional strategies, science teachers can acquire these with the help of modern science books, reading science materials and internet with links on websites about science. In other words, they can enhance their teaching methods, strategies and techniques by being more resourceful and more creative.
By looking at researches that show instructional strategies in science, the teacher will be able to obtain the latest and the most effective means to attain the best quality education in science.
Science teachers must be after for further improving their instructions not only to be effective and efficient but also to create better products from among their science learners. They should continuously sprout and grow and even to reach greater heights.
Remember the words of Thomas Henry Huxley, “The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man’s foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher.”
So, it is on the hands of the science teachers to make instructions become at their best. The attainment of such goal will be done through the said elements mentioned above.
