What I teach and what do my students learn in my modules?
Discussions on Padlet
In this section, I showcase some of the students’ discussions on topics posted in padlet. I often used padlet as a platform for students to express their feedback on the questions I posted in the module. See examples of the padlet discussion below.

Students are taught using a diverse methods of teaching which include lectures, class discussion, group work/peer, formative feedback, presentation as well as role playing for training students in teaching using 7E’s and dialogic teaching. There is a lot of modelling in order to equip students to do primary science teaching using inquiry based science education and STEM education.
Assessment Strategies
Students are assessed individually if the numbers of MTeach candidates are low. However, they will be assessed in groups and individually if there are more than 20 students in the module.
