Physics · Science Pedagogy

A curriculum committee is redesigning the science syllabus for primary classes. During discussions, teachers agree that science should not be taught as a collection of facts but as a way of exploring the world. They propose activities where children observe plants, make simple models, test ideas, record findings and ask questions. The team emphasizes that students must learn through actual scientific processes-investigation, experimentation and inquiry-so that their natural curiosity and creativity are supported. They believe this approach helps children construct their own understanding of scientific ideas. In this context, what does process validity in an ideal science curriculum refer to?
