Abstract
This dissertation provides preliminary findings of research work in progress, drawing on the initial set of Science classroom data from CRPP’s Core Project. It describes science pedagogical practices observed, using the CRPP’s Singapore Coding Scheme. The dissertation pays special attention to identifying how the Singapore science classroom is socially organised, what pedagogical activities are carried out, what teacher’s tools are at work and the types of student’ products generated in class. In addition, the types of knowledge which are emphasised and how they are classified are also examined. This is a purely descriptive report, at the end of which the strengths and weaknesses in the observed science pedagogy in the Singapore classrooms are discussed.
