Science Education

Generally the main focus of science education is teaching the content ASK, i.e. attitudes, skills and knowledge.

Besides, science education inculcates the knowledge seeking information skills so that new discovery of knowledge with more evidence can occur and replace the existence knowledge which is less convictable.

The National Philosophy of Science Education states that,

 ‘In consonance with the National Education Philosophy, science education in Malaysia nurtures a science and technology culture by focusing on the development of individuals who are competitive, dynamic, robust and resilient and able to master scientific knowledge and technological competency’.

With this philosophy, science education, therefore, is aimed at developing the potentials of individuals in an overall and integrated manner so as to produce Malaysian citizens who are scientifically and technologically literate, competent in scientific skills, practice good moral values, capable of coping with the changes of scientific and technological advances and be able to manage nature with wisdom and responsibility for the betterment of mankind.
