Science Programme

Curriculum 课程内容

In line with the Dunman High School’s vision “The premier school of Leaders of Honour”, the science programme aims to prepare all Dunmanians to have the presence of scientific mind and attitude that will enable them to be an adept citizen who cares for the environment and to have the technical knowledge and skills to function and contribute effectively to an increasingly technologically driven world.

为配合我校培育“堂正君子社稷栋梁 ”的愿景，我校的科学课程旨在培养学生的科学思维和态度，从而使他们成为关心环境，且拥有相关知识和技能的公民，以助于他们在日益以科技为主导的世界里有效地工作和做出贡献。

Science Curriculum Framework

The Science curriculum framework was derived from Ministry of Education’s Policy Framework for the teaching and learning of Science which seeks to inculcate and nurture the spirit of inquiry and curiosity. The curriculum is delivered in the three domains – knowledge, understanding and application; skills and processes; ethics and attitudes – which support the curriculum framework. The programme strives to provide students with learning experiences which allow them to apply knowledge and draw relationships within various concepts in science, through written assignments or laboratory practical sessions, and science research work. To connect students with applications of science in their complete performance tasks collaboratively, participate in learning journeys to broaden their horizons and conduct investigate experiments to enhance their learning and appreciation of science. In particular, the school also emphasizes the inculcation of social, emotional values and sense of national responsibility. There are opportunities in every scientific topic to address the affective domain in accordance with the school learning outcomes, such as showing sensitivity, compassion, being reflective, able to learn independently and work collaboratively, and ability to articulate views. In addition, the framework aims to establish relevance and relationship, via Science in Daily Life, Science in Society, and Science in the Environment.

Objectives of the Science Programme

The Science Programme aims to enable students to

develop the interest in matters of scientific importance
be able to recognise the usefulness and limitations of scientific methods
appreciate scientific applications in other disciplines and in one’s everyday life
develop abilities and skills in the study and practice of science
develop attitudes relevant to the study and practice of science.

A Differentiated Curriculum

The Science curriculum is differentiated in content, process, product and learning environment to cater to the varied and diversified needs of these students. Students will maximise their potential in the Sciences by pursuing a challenging and differentiated curriculum which will accelerate their learning experiences and develop them into independent learners and effective team workers.

Content enrichment extends the syllabus beyond the basic syllabus in depth and breadth. It caters more to individual needs and interests. It integrates different subject areas/disciplines and affective issues so as to encourage the investigation of real-life problems. Process enrichment seeks to develop higher level thinking skills. This is achieved by providing opportunities for discovery learning and open-ended problem solving, teaching research skills for independent study, and using varied teaching strategies to cater to different learning styles. Students will consistently utilize critical and creative thinking skills to seek original solutions to real-world problems. It will also develop pupils’ understanding of the ethical and moral implications of social and scientific developments. Product differentiation encourages the presentation of what has been learnt in a variety of ways thereby providing space for creative expressions.

Science Enrichment Modules for School-Based Gifted Education (SBGE)

Dunman High adopts the former Gifted Education Programme Enrichment Model to differentiate programme from the mainstream. Enrichment modules aim at providing a better quality of learning or appropriate instruction for students which cannot be fully provided for within the regular classes. The school practices the grouping of students with similar high ability, aptitude and talent in SBGE classes. Students are selected to be in the SBGE classes based on their academic performance, participation and achievement in above-level science-based programmes and competitions and teachers’ recommendation.

For Science Talent Development Programme, students are also given exposure in enrichment programmes such as E2K, Eureka, research programmes from Year 2 onwards, and competitions such as Junior Olympiad. For STEM program at Lower Secondary Science, students are introduced to the Arduino Uno microcontroller and breadboarding of electrical circuits. Through a blended learning approach (online and class based), SBGE Students who are keen to pursue STEM are also gradually exposed to more complex circuits and programming concepts.

Pedagogy 教学法

Differentiaterd Teaching & Learning Approach

The Science programme tailors teaching environments and practices to cater to different learning experiences for our students. It is delivered to enable students to acquire the 21stcentury competencies (writing, media literacy, information and communication, civic-mindedness, critical and inventive thinking, global awareness, ethics). To promote and facilitate enduring understandings of fundamental concepts, three overarching themes run through the 6-year DHP Programme:

Individual
Community
World (i.e. encourages the investigation of real-life and world issues)

The key themes of individual, community & the world

enable learners to discover the value and relevance of the various disciplines in the 21stcentury world and
help the learners to derive the Enduring Understandings.

Teachers are guided by the essential question:

What do we want students to understand and be able to use several years from now, after they have forgotten the details? (Grant Wiggins & Jay McTighe)

Teachers adopt the following approaches to Teaching and Learning:

Student-centred spiral approach
Use of ICT (e.g. CD-roms, websites, in-house videos, etc.)
Inquiry-based Instruction (5E Instructional Model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate) in planning lessons and teaching packages
Infusion of essential dimensions of Critical Thinking developed by Dr. Richard Paul and his colleagues at the Foundation for Critical Thinking into lesson planning, lesson delivery and assignments.
Instruction to bring awareness to issues linked to the science in everyday life, the contribution and role of science to mankind, and global implications such as environmental or ethical issues.

Teachers are equipped with a repertoire of teaching strategies to cater to different needs of students in the learning process. Examples of the different teaching pedagogies used include:

Lesson Delivery

Teacher directed learning that promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills
Discussion using Socratic Questioning, Inference or Deductive strategies, etc., to draw out key understanding, Peer evaluation, Peer Coaching
Guided-inquiry used in teaching of certain topics
Varying levels of guidance in group discussions
Oral Presentation
Peer Teaching, Cooperative Learning
Create mind map of topics
Use of games for learning

Use of ICT in Teaching & Learning

To enhance presentations and deepen learning for students To enhance presentations and deepen learning for students, e.g. using powerpoint to present and deliver lessons; using IT to animate reactions and processes, videos to bring the relevance, contribution and impact of science closer to students
To monitor students’ independent learning through posting of online quizzes for self-study topics and analyzing general areas of weakness or areas of misconception for the topics
Use of wiki pages on topic for collaborative learning
Virtual Learning Labs

Independent Learning

Promoting independent learning of topics from available resources
Provision of e-learning and online resources for self-study topics.

Laboratory Practical Sessions

Sessions are usually student-centred and focus on experiential learning. Hands-on approach is adopted and practical sessions will include data collection, data analysis, and application of knowledge to make predictions and recommendations
Incorporating the use of dataloggers and demonstration set-ups
In-house life sciences enrichment modules with hands-on experiences in the laboratories
Provide opportunities to support the learning of concepts

Group Work: Collaborative Learning

Varying levels of teacher guidance in group work
Grouping of students based on their strengths to complement one another
To train students’ teamwork abilities, communication and presentation skills

Science Research Projects (Talent Development Programme)

Sessions on basic science research skills & the use of investigative research skills to complete a science research project related to current scientific and environmental problems.

Personalized Coaching

Conducted at individual or small group consultations to cater to individual learning needs

Our content coverage extends beyond the basic syllabus in depth and breadth. By integrating out-of-class experiences and different subject disciplines in our programme, it encourages the investigation of real-life problems. Opportunities are created for discovery learning and open-ended problem solving to enable them to develop higher level thinking skills in our six-year course. These activities include:

Selected fieldtrips/workshops/courses/ Electives (based on Renzulli Enrichment Triad Model)

Out-of-classroom learning experiences and extensions are planned and conducted to provide

Enrichment for the whole level. g. Fieldtrips
Interest-based Elective courses
Ability-based Electives such as Junior Chemistry and Physics Olympiad training.

Selected contests and competitions

Our students are active participants of:

International Competition & Assessment for Science (ICAS)
Local, national or international competitions that “enable interaction, competition, and cooperation with gifted peers under conditions which push individuals to perform at their best.” e.g. National Science Challenge, Singapore Junior Chemistry Olympiad, Singapore Junior Physics Olympiad, Science Olympiads, East Zone A-STAR Science Fair, Singapore Science and Engineering Fair (SSEF), International Science Fair (e.g. Taiwan International Science Fair).

Dunman High Research Programme (DHRP)- Independent Study & Research

All Lower Secondary students will be exposed to the teaching and learning of basic research skills (such as crafting research questions, research methodology and oral presentation). Students are given the opportunity to work in interest-based groups in their selected choice of project that anchors on or is related to a particular subject discipline (e.g. Science-based).

Year 3 and 4 students will have the opportunity to embark on Science Research. The Science Mentorship Research Programme (SMP) under external agencies such as Agency of Science, Technology And Research, coordinated by the Gifted Education Branch, and School-Based Research Programmes under industry partners, provides scientific research experience for more students.

While students at Senior High continue to be involved in school-based research programmes, there are also opportunities for research attachments overseas (under the MOE Overseas Student Attachment Programme) and locally at the universities and research institutes (under the MOE Local Student Attachment Programme or MOE Science Research Programme or NTU Nanyang Research Programme).

差异性的教学方式

本院依据学生的不同学习经验，为学生量身定做不同的教学环境和作习，以教导21世纪技能（如书写，媒体素养，信息与通讯，公民意识，批判和创造性思维，全球意识，道德观念等）。为了便于促进学生对基础概念有持久性的理解，本院6年课程的设计环绕三个主题：

Assessment 评估与测试

The assessment complements the Teaching and Learning practices to provide both teachers and students timely and accurate information of the extent of learning, understanding of concepts and mastery of skills.

评估与测试和教学形成互补，让教师和学生能够及时准确地掌握有关学生学习进展、概念理解和技能掌握的信息。

In addition, assessment is also planned to assess affective domains of students, and can be differentiated to provide opportunities for students of high ability to be stretched.

Individual

Written Topical Assignments (*include challenging questions for students of high ability)
Written Topical Common Tests (*include challenging questions for students of high ability)
Written Pop Quizzes

Besides individual written assignments and common tests, assessment also comes in the form of authentic performance tasks (in groups or as an individual) that mirror real-world issues & problem solving & real world applications. Designing assessment tasks which demands from students to display a variety of products and demonstrate a repertoire of skills can thus allows students to develop 21st century competencies and be competent in them.

The products and/or skills which we expect students to present or demonstrate include:

Internet Research, powerpoint presentation and wikipage

Assessments that assess affective domain

Peer evaluation
Work attitudes
Daily work

Dunman Experience

With Dunman High being a school that offers Integrated Programme, we can fully explore the advantage of building up the skills in Sciences throughout the six-year programme. There is a spiral building up of skills from Year 1 to Year 6. The Integrated Programme allows us to have holistic and comprehensive programme in the teaching and learning of Sciences. Our talented students explore research projects and participate in national competitions that require knowledge in the sciences. As they progress to Senior High, they have opportunities to organize competitions and camps for their juniors. Through these events, the Senior High students apply the knowledge built throughout their Junior High years to plan and implement tasks and activities that demonstrate their ability to incorporate knowledge from the science discipline.

此外，本院也通过测试来评估学生在情感领域的发展。测试方式也可根据学生能力区分，以更有效的挑战能力高的学生。
