BACHELOR OF EDUCATION IN SCIENCE - B.Ed. Sc.

A Bachelor of Education in Science is a degree program that prepares individuals to become educators specializing in teaching science subjects at the primary, secondary, or high school levels. This program equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively teach scientific concepts, theories, and practical applications to students. The curriculum typically covers a wide range of scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Students gain a solid foundation in scientific principles, research methodologies, and laboratory practices, which they can integrate into their teaching practices. Throughout the program, students also learn pedagogical strategies, instructional techniques, and assessment methods specifically tailored for teaching science subjects. Graduates of this program are well-equipped to inspire and engage students in the wonders of science, foster critical thinking skills, and cultivate scientific literacy among future generations.

Regulations Governing the Award of the B.Ed. Sc. Degree

The College operates a semester system of studies. Each discipline offers a variety of courses, including core courses, which are compulsory to students majoring in the subjects, and Elective courses. Each course is given a credit weighting according to the time devoted to it on the timetable. Fifteen one-hour lectures and fifteen two to three-hour practical classes constitute four credits. Thus, for example, a course consisting of 30 one-hour lectures and 15 three-hour practical classes is a Twelve (12) credits course. Seminars and discussion groups are not counted in the weighting unless they make up more than a third of the total teaching hours in a course.
