This lecture explores discipline-specific approaches to teaching and learning, with a focus on the sciences, including mathematics, chemistry, biology, and computing. Effective teaching in these disciplines requires understanding both the nature of the subject matter and how students learn within that field. The lecture examines key principles of disciplinary pedagogy, including inquiry-based learning, problem-solving, experimentation, and computational thinking.

Students will explore strategies to foster conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and practical skills through laboratory work, simulations, group projects, and technology-enhanced learning. Attention will also be given to assessment methods tailored to scientific learning, including formative feedback, practical reports, and project-based evaluation.

By the end of this lecture, students will be able to:

• Understand the characteristics of effective teaching in various scientific disciplines.

• Apply discipline-specific teaching strategies to promote deep learning and engagement.

• Design learning activities that integrate theory, practice, and experimentation.

• Reflect on challenges and opportunities in teaching science subjects in diverse educational contexts.

The lecture will include case studies, examples of good practice, and interactive discussions to help participants connect pedagogical theory with practical teaching approaches in the sciences.
