Description
In science education students learn to utilize discipline-specific mathematical concepts, but, it is equally important to develop students’ deeper understanding of physics. Traditional courses with textbooks and basic exercises have their limitations in developing students' understanding and critical thinking. This study presents pedagogical strategies that can foster students' creative thinking and problem-solving skills through concept maps and question strategies. The study examines the tactics developed at NDU to promote deeper learning among students. Useful for learning are interrogative questions and combined models that give students the freedom to ask even less complete questions.
