Abstract

Information and knowledge of science are very necessary and vital inputs for growth and survival in modern times. Science is a body of knowledge that can be rationally interpreted and applied consistently in human endeavors. Science as a form of information is a way to examine a process and a way of thinking in the quest for an understanding of nature. The aim of this study is to review teachers' strategies of teaching science. Innovative practices are devices that empower both the students and tutors. The interests of the learners are fulfilled through investing in creative activities as it reflects the students ' desire for learning in doing so. To educators, new approaches are exciting, as they help teachers in involving students in realistic inquiry learning. The authors reviewed articles on innovative teaching strategies. It was concluded from the survey that Innovative teaching strategies are activity-based and characterized by students sharing some degree of responsibility for making decision in the learning process.
