Promoting Scientific Literacy by Using ICT in Science Teaching

Abstract

This study aims to identify the way upon which ICT can be employed in science teaching to develop scientific literacy level.The study has conclude to design a triple learning model (PEA) based on ICT and constructive learning strategy in teaching science through a context which cares for building positive trends of searching for knowledge and increasing scientific literacy level of the students at schools and universities. The PEA model depends on the use of ICT in the teaching of science through the following three requirements:1. Using ICT in a way that is consistent with the tendencies of the students and their attitudes.2. Constructing educational content based on the constructivist theory of learning. Providing social learning environment.Thus, the study recommends the bodies in charge of the educational process to necessarily adopt the project of rebuilding scientific literacy through supplying classrooms and laboratories with ICT supplies as well as training teachers and faculty members in universities on science teaching skills by using ICT based on the Constructivist Theory.

A comprehensive bibliometric analysis of information and communication technologies in science education

“…Despite several research into the advantages of the application of ICT in science education (Al-Rsa'i, 2013;Altin & Pedaste, 2013;Kennedy-Clark, 2011;Palomares-Ruiz et al, 2020), a detailed examination of the literature available is still lacking. This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive review of current research trends, influential authors and institutions, and the overall influence of ICT on science education by conducting bibliometric research.…”
