Pedagogical Approaches of Junior High School Science Teachers in Teaching Science

The primary objective of this study is to describe the various pedagogical approaches utilized by Junior High School science teachers in teaching science to students. According to the findings of this research, most science teachers employ a collaborative teaching method, which is then followed by experimentation and differentiated instruction in their classrooms. This agrees with an article that was posted on the internet by Cox (2019), saying that the most effective methods for teaching science include collaborative learning and differentiated instruction.
