Promoting a Practical Approach to Science(PPAS)
Benefits
This project aims at promoting practical teaching of science subjects. RIFI-STI develops reading, teaching, and learning materials designed by experienced teachers and consultants in the form of Teacher’s Guides and Pupil’s Books as per the National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) guidelines.
Project Goals
Our Projects
Our teaching and learning materials are activity-based, learner-centered, and relate to the daily life experiences of the learners to easily grasp and understand concepts. The learner-centered approach aims at developing learner autonomy and independence with a major focus on skills development and practice that enables lifelong learning and independent problem-solving. The materials are approved by NCDC and recommended by the Ministry of Education and Sports as well as the Directorate of Education Standards.
Primary Integrated Science-New Approach
Primary Integrated Science: THE NEW APPROACH
Project Goal
The goal of the project is to improve the quality of teaching applicable and practical science right from the primary level of education and to set a foundation for science education in higher levels of education (Post-primary Education).
Why are these books unique?
- The books are localized in that learners can easily relate the information to their local setting which makes learning easy.
- The explanations are easy to understand and stimulate pupils’ interest
- The books are activity-based allowing pupils to innovate, apply classroom concepts in day-to-day life, and experience the real-life importance of science.
- Activities are accompanied by illustrations and real-life photos to enhance pupil’s learning experience.
- They give basic and applicable life-skills to pupils that are useful in everyday life.
- The learning activities in these books form a strong foundation for learning science at higher levels of education
- They encourage innovation for self-employment and starting small self-help projects
