Abstract

Although science literacy emphasises on what students should learn, this paper attempts to address the current pedagogic practices in the way science is taught in schools. Hence, it provides fundamental and workable solutions in meeting these challenges for both teachers and students. Currently, the situation in Malaysia does not only call for the need to equip teachers with the necessary knowledge and skills per se, but includes tackling issues pertaining to the quality of teaching in Science.
