Abstract
Curricular changes in secondary school science lead schools to introduce more reflective practices in the form of project work, portfolio assessment, inquiry-based activities and creative-critical thinking components in classroom or laboratory pedagogy. This paper reviews some of the trends and practices in the science classroom, particularly in the learning of experimental science. The discussion includes a sharing of reflective practices by in the teaching of science and reflective learning opportunities for students in preparation for them to be life long learners in society. Examples of teaching strategies and experiences gleaned from classroom and professional training practices will also be shared.
