Study system

in Science and

Math's

Mara Jekabsone

Study system in includes the following interconnected components:

• the philosophy of teaching science and math's;

• balanced study content;• organisation of study process (various, active,

cooperative);• evaluation (aims, tasks, process, result).

Study system is formed according to a certain structure:

• support (cooperation between students, teachers);

• favourable study environment.

The content of science subjects – physics, chemistry, biology – is organized in three blocks:

• nature and techniques,

• research process,

• interaction of aperson, societyand environment,scientific aspectsof them.

In order achieve comprehension of mathematical processes it is important:

• to know a certain amountof mathematical facts,methods, notions and regularities;

• to develop skills of understandingconnectedness and make deductions;

• to develop experience to recognize problems, solvethem using mathematical methods to interpret the results.

A student’s learning process:

Students acquire cooperation skills as well. Students can work independently, in groups or in pairs. A teacher is

mainly as an adviser (tutor).
