DIDACTIC STRATEGIES AND MODELS IN NATURAL SCIENCE EDUCATION

Abstract

In this article, some quite important teaching strategies and models for teaching the area of natural sciences are presented and analyzed, such as the problem-based learning model, the discovery learning model and the project-based learning model. Most teachers have always wondered how natural sciences can be taught in a meaningful way, how to motivate students to learn this fundamental area and therefore improve the results of internal and external tests. The teaching of natural sciences has been of great importance for the development of curiosity, creativity and critical thinking skills in students. although the complexity and often the difficulty and confusion of some of the scientific concepts can make teaching this subject a challenge for many teachers. The results of the study show that these teaching models can improve students' understanding and application of scientific concepts, as well as foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking skills. It is proposed to present some of the teaching models of Natural Sciences teachers based on the psychological, epistemological aspects, principles and models of action that support their conceptions and pedagogical practices in the classroom, all from accessing the component conceptions of science, learning and teaching and the didactic strategies and resources and classroom climate of the teachers' didactic models.
