Description
The Science Teaching Major leads to endorsements and licensure to teach secondary (grades 7-12) science content in Utah public schools. Program Prerequisite: Must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Department of Teacher Education ) to complete the program. Minor: Not required Grade Requirements: A grade of “C” or better in courses required for this major (a grade of “C-” is not acceptable). Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours are required for graduation; 49-59 are required in the core and emphasis of the major, in addition to the credits required by the Teacher Education program. A total of 40 upper division credit hours (in courses numbered 3000 and above) are required to fulfill University graduation requirements. Program Code: 6082BS with a Concentration in Biology Teaching (6002), Chemistry Teaching (6007), Earth Science Teaching (6011), or Physics Teaching (6020) CIPC: 131316 Advisement See the Center for Science & Mathematics Education ( weber.edu/csme ) for advising and program options. Admission Requirements Teaching majors must be admitted to the Teacher Education program to complete the major and earn teaching credentials. Program Learning Outcomes General science integration: Students will synthesize ideas from multiple scientific fields, the nature of scientific knowledge, and scientific practice. Application of scientific knowledge: Students will develop in-depth knowledge in an emphasis area (biology, chemistry, earth science, or physics) and use it to analyze and interpret novel phenomena. Pedagogical content knowledge: Students will learn and apply theories of science learning that meet a wide array of student needs and settings. Science teaching methods: Students will create curriculum and assessments that match state science education standards. Demonstrated science teaching practice: Students will demonstrate effective instruction and assessment in a classroom setting.
