PREREQUISITES
To have passed the courses: PÄN010 Local Environm.,Community as Teach.Resource, MA/NO PÄP001 Development and Learning

COURSE AIM
The students should work on and develop: -evolutionary understanding of systematic and morphcal biology, -comprehensiv view of conditions of nature, -knowledge about interactions within environments, -in-depth knowledge about and skills in the important general science areas of the compulsory school, -understanding of the interaction between theory and experiment, -understanding of the interaction between Natural Science, technique, community and environment, -understanding of conservation and transformation of matter, -knowledge of atomic theory as an explanatory model for chemical processes, -problem-directed approach, -laboratory working procedure and learning by discovery, -a memo introducing the degree project. The students should have knowledge about: -evolutionary aspects of systematic and morphology of organisms, -population biology, ethology included, -basic ecological relations, -basic elements and laws of the classical physics, -structure, propities and transformation of matter, phases and phase transitions, -energy currencies at chemical reactions, -the historical perspective, -how to start with problem-solving in application of mathematic as well as in concept formation. The students should be able to: -critical examine and interpret result reports, -plan and lead excursions, -interpret and use the periodic table, -carry out experiments and apply result, observations, interpretations and conclusions to the everyday use and vice versa, -account for concept development in mathematics within the framwork of the compulsory comprehensive school, -exemplify and account for the difference between knowledge of concepts and knowledge of procedures, -account for how you start from problem-situations in application of mathematic as well in concept formation, -evaluate the capability of development in unconventional methods of solution when solving mathematical problems as well as routin tasks.
