Science Education: Chemistry/Physics

Education

A.A.T. Degree (D,G,S)

The Science Education program allows students to complete courses that articulate to a physics or chemistry bachelor degree program. This program provides rigorous instruction and coursework in mathematics, education, and science infusing technology within the courses. This program requires a field experience in a secondary school setting, providing a hands-on teaching experience.

Program Graduate Competencies

The Program Graduate Competencies listed below identify the major learning goals related to your specific program of study and identify the knowledge and skills you will have when you graduate to be successful in your chosen field.

  1. Employ mathematical problem solving strategies to solve algebra, trigonometry, analytical geometry and calculus problems.
  2. Apply scientific principles to explain everyday phenomena.
  3. Analyze problems, safely and ethically conduct scientific research, and interpret and report the results.
  4. Integrate psychological and human development concepts in the educational process.
  5. Demonstrate and explain the scientific process and related modern laboratory procedures.

Core Curriculum Competencies

The Core Curriculum Competencies listed below identify what you will be able to do as a graduate, regardless of your program of study. You will acquire these core competencies through general education courses and program-specific coursework. You will be expected to use relevant technology to achieve these outcomes:

  1. Apply clear and effective communication skills.
  2. Use critical thinking to solve problems.
  3. Collaborate to achieve a common goal.
  4. Demonstrate professional and ethical conduct.
  5. Use information literacy for effective vocational and/or academic research.
  6. Apply quantitative reasoning and/or scientific inquiry to solve practical problems.
