24TH JOINT SCHOOL SCIENCE EXHIBITION

LEARNING SCIENCE IN SCHOOLS COULD EASILY BECOME A DULL EXERCISE IF STUDENTS JUST MEMORISED FACTS, THE ACTING DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, MR JOHN WINFIELD, SAID TODAY (THURSDAY).

MR WINFIELD SAID A REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCIENCES DEPENDED ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ENQUIRY APPROACH AND THIS COULD BK ACQUIRED THROUGH THE ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT OF STUDENTS.

SPEAKING AT THE OPENING OF THE 24TH JOINT SCHOOL SCIENCE EXHIBITION AT THE HONG KONG EXHIBITION CENTRE, MR WINFIELD SAID LUCKILY EDUCATORS AND TEACHERS HAD RECENTLY MADE MUCH EFFORT TO MAKE SCIENCE MORE INTERESTING AND RELATED IT MORE DIRECTLY TO EVERYDAY LIFE.

MORE EMPHASIS HAD ALSO BEEN PLACED ON LEARNING SCIENCE "ACTIVITY" AND "ENQUIRY".
