Although Inquiry-Based Science Teaching (IBST) and the Nature of Science (NOS) are well documented as important aspects of teaching science subjects in schools, little research has been undertaken to understand how these aspects feature in secondary school science curricula in Tanzania. Thus, this study examined the extent to which IBST and NOS…

Describes an introductory course that does not presuppose newtonian mechanics. Presents a course outline and discusses the treatment of five major topics including relativistic kinematics and the derivation of the Lorentz transformation. (GS)

Describes some of the difficulties that arise when a course is transferred from one teacher to another and relates some experiences in the transfer of a self paced physics course. (GS)

This program is designed to involve students in the economy of their community. It combines an interdisciplinary educational program with practical field and laboratory experience.
