Biological Sciences

INTRODUCTION
Course Overview
Admission Requirements

The philosophy of the Bachelor of Science (Ed) Degree in Integrated Science is anchored on the  awareness of:

  • The fundamental unity of science;
  • The use of scientific method as a common approach in solving problems of scientific nature; and
  • The role and function of science in everyday life

Integrated Science emphasizes those concepts which are common to all of science, the process of science and the skills associated with them.  Science also emphasizes inquiry into the nature of the environment.  The  prime aim of the programme is to provide students with an introduction to this method and allow them to follow their own inquiries.  The method of inquiry has cognitive and practical aspects.These cognitive aspects include the ability to formulate questions, to identify variables and design experiments, to interpret results, recognise patterns, generate hypotheses, draw conclusions and develop theoretical models.  The practical skills required include general skills such as the ability to observe and to measure, and more specialised skills in the handling and use of laboratory apparatus living materials, and chemical. In preparing teachers for Integrated Science teaching, the principal objectives include:

  •  Encouraging students gain the concept of the fundamental unity of science;
  • Instilling in students a commonality of approach to problems of a scientific nature, i.e. the scientific method.
  • Increasing students understanding of the role and functions of science in everyday life and in the world in which they live
  •  Making students well informed and scientifically literate
  • Creating an enabling atmosphere for students; acquire and demonstrate the intellectual competence and professional skills necessary to the teaching of Integrated Science in secondary schools, as an inquiry based subject, in conformity with the National Curriculum.
  • Developing in students the ability to impart and encourage in their students the spirit of inquiry into living and non-living things in the environment.
  •  Developing the ability and motivation in students to work and think in an independent manner.
  •  Paving the way for students to carry out scientific investigations, emphasising co-operation, development of appropriate scientific processes and skills, and improving their written and oral communication skills.
