Abstract :
This report discusses the use of experimental
methods in the instruction of physical sciences and
emphasizes its significance in gaining knowledge and
skills. It also presents the training context for physical
science teachers within the framework of my research
project in science education.
The training aims to strengthen teachers' skills in
experimental practice and help them illustrate teaching
content through demonstrations and experimental
manipulations in physical sciences field. This will assist
teachers in the enhancement of their practice and make
concepts more tangible for students.
The preliminary analysis of teachers' activities
revealed that most of them recognize the color code of 4-
band resistors, but modern devices use 5-band resistors.
Therefore, it is important to encourage teachers to use 5-
band resistors to stay up to date with new technologies.
A study was conducted on the use of breadboards in
schools in the Region of Dosso, which is one of the
country eight regions. The study outcomes were not
mentioned, but the main objective was to evaluate how
practical manipulations with breadboards contribute to
students' understanding of concepts in physical sciences.
Breadboards are commonly used tools for creating
solderless electrical circuits and can be used in primary
and secondary education.
