Thiết kế hoạt động trải nghiệm trong dạy học chủ đề “Thực vật và động vật” (Khoa học 4)

Tóm tắt

In the 2018 General Education Program, the “Science” subject is crucial in forming and developing student s’ competencies. Teaching this subject with experiential learning activities can encourage students to become self-reliant, proactive, and creative through the process of applying theories into real-life experiments. The study was carried out with a theoretical research method in order to define the concept of experiential learning, and applied David Kolb’s experiential learning model to design a designing procedure for experiential activities in teaching the “Plants and animals” topic (Science Grade 4 according to the 2018 General Education Program). The paper also includes one lesson plan focusing on “Water requirements for plants” in the same topic. The lesson plan covers 4 activities corresponding with the 4 experiencing steps discussed in the literature review. The research findings are hopefully references for teachers in teaching Science through experiential learning and fostering learners’ competencies, specifically natural science competence - one of the 7 characteristic competencies stated in the 2018 General Education Program.
