Abstract

Researches into effective science teaching at primary school provide us with two important information; the ideas that science teaching and learning of children should start at school and understanding of a concept is the fundamental of the learning. Recently, the quality of teaching and learning science becomes the question in hand. A lot of researchers agree that objectives of learning science at primary and secondary schools may not be only to prepare students for the secondary stage education, it is also important for the preparation of lifelong learning and understanding of the phenomenon around them. Today, there is a fundamental shift from testing to learning as assessment is perceived as integral part of teaching-learning process. This shift has also brought a shift in traditional ways (tools and techniques) of assessment. Tasks like role plays, crossword puzzle, flow charts, popular science, book review, field trips, class work/homework assignments, group work, survey, project work, worksheets, games, etc. became tools for assessment. This paper discusses role plays, debate and flow charts as tools and techniques, which can be used by teachers in science classroom.
