Innovative Teaching Strategies in Secondary Science Education: A Systematic Review

Abstract:

This systematic review delves into the landscape of innovative teaching strategies in secondary science education, exploring diverse approaches, learning assessment innovations, administrative support, and stakeholder perceptions. The study synthesizes findings from a range of scholarly sources, highlighting the creativity and adaptability of educators in designing pedagogical approaches that engage students and enhance learning experiences. While innovative teaching strategies abound, the review identifies a relative lack of emphasis on innovations in learning assessment methods, signaling a need for further exploration in this area. Administrative support emerges as a critical factor influencing the successful implementation of innovative teaching strategies, with varying degrees of support observed across schools. Stakeholder perceptions, particularly those of teachers and students, reflect positivity towards innovative approaches, underscoring their potential to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. Overall, this study underscores the importance of fostering a culture of innovation in science education, advocating for continuous exploration and development of pedagogical approaches that meet the evolving needs of students and educators alike.
