Unboxing My Science Teaching

Abstract

My classroom teaching was streamlined, organised and ‘boxed’ into subject areas with definite time allocations. I had a reasonably clear idea as to what knowledge I needed to impart to my students, how I would impart it, (probably this meant with plenty of teacher talk and predetermined sheets and activities) and a concluding, ‘finish up’ lesson to the topic that may even have included a small test on student knowledge gained.
