 WHY IBSE?
• Before 1900, most educators viewed science primarily as a
body of knowledge that students were to learn through
direct instruction.

1909 (John Dewey)

One criticism of this perspective contended that:
“science teaching gave too much emphasis to the accumulation
of information and not enough to science as a way of thinking
and an attitude of mind”

Dewey (1910)
Science is more than a body of knowledge to be learned,
there is a process or method to learn as well

不闻不若闻之，闻之不若见之，见之不若知之，知之不若行
之；学至于行之而止矣。
• A rough translation: "Not hearing is not as good as hearing, hearing is not
as good as seeing, seeing is not as good as knowing, knowing is not as
good as acting; true learning continues until it is put into action.“

• 没听见不如听见，听见不如看见，看见不如了解，了解了不如去实
行。 讲的是学习要广闻博见，深入探讨，最后要把学到的知识付诸
实践。

 Inquiry-Based Science Education

IBSE means students progressively developing key scientific ideas through learning
how to investigate and build their knowledge and understanding of the world
around. They use skills employed by scientists such as raising questions, collecting
data, reasoning and reviewing evidence in the light of what is already known,
drawing conclusions and discussing results. This learning process is all supported by
an inquiry-based pedagogy, where pedagogy is taken to mean not only the act of
teaching but also its underpinning justifications.
(IAP, 2010)

PUSAT STEM NEGARA, BAHAGIAN PERANCANGAN DAN PENYELIDIKAN DASAR PENDIDIKAN, KPM
Goals
Through their science education students should develop:

Understanding of fundamental scientific ideas

Understanding of the nature of science, scientific inquiry, reasoning
Scientific competences of gathering and using evidence
Scientific attitudes, both attitudes within science and towards science
Skills that support learning throughout life
Ability to communicate using appropriate language and representations,
including written, oral and mathematical language
Appreciation of the contribution of science to society and of how science is
used in technology and engineering.

“Science is BOTH a body of knowledge and the
S processes and practices used to add to that body of
knowledge”. (NGSS, 2013)

Dalam erti kata lain,

murid bukan sahaja perlu memahami pengetahuan sains,
malah perlu mengaplikasikan proses dan amalan yang
digunakan oleh saintis untuk mencari jawapan kepada
soalan sains.

“The goal of science is to construct explanations for

The interdependence ofPENDEKATAN PEMBELAJARAN
science, engineering, and BERSEPADU
technology

Advances in science offer new capabilities, new materials, or new

S understanding of processes that can be applied through
engineering to produce advances in technology.
Advances in technology, in turn, provide scientists with new
T capabilities to probe the natural world at larger or smaller scales; to
record, manage, and analyze data; and to model ever more complex
systems with greater precision.
In addition, engineers’ efforts to develop or improve technologies
E often raise new questions for scientists’ investigations.

 PENDEKATAN PEMBELAJARAN BERSEPADU
The ideas about the natural world, warranted by empirical evidence, that
S have been accumulated over time and the processes by which these
ideas have been generated.
The systems, processes and artefacts produced by human beings to
T serve their needs or desires.

 T&E
PENDEKATAN PEMBELAJARAN BERSEPADU

E
…We use the term “engineering” in a very broad sense to mean any
engagement in a systematic practice of design to achieve solutions to
particular human problems.

Likewise, we broadly use the term “technology” to include all types of

T human-made systems and processes—not in the limited sense often used in
schools that equates technology with modern computational and
communications devices.
Technologies result when engineers apply their understanding of the
natural world and of human behavior to design ways to satisfy human
needs and wants.
