Dubai's ever changing academic landscape requires dynamic learning systems which are not stagnant but moves with time especially in IB MYP science. At this stage student curiosity, the grasping of new concepts & the application of real-world examples come together. Middle Years Program (MYP) science introduces learners to the basic concepts of matter, reactions, elements, compounds & practical science skills. Without the necessary support system learners may understand content but struggle to score well in the final exam & so MYP science is both exciting and challenging. This question & answer tries to give guidance and direction so that both parents and students can make informed decisions.
What is the difference between MYP science & traditional science curricula?
Dr Anil Khare: The major difference between the two is that IB MYP science is not only about memorizing facts but it puts special emphasis on how pupils think, analyze and communicate scientific reasoning. Assessments are given to students based on criteria (A to D) & this requires students to not only possess knowledge but to apply reasoning, understanding and analysis. A good MYP science tutor will help students to answer questions correctly and also to be able to connect science to Mathematics using real; life situations.
Why do most students find MYP science challenging?
Dr Anil Khare: Most students face challenges in MYP science. They fail to combine the theoretical knowledge & experimental skills to the real world. When the basic fundamental topics such as atoms, elements & compounds, rate of reaction & atomic structure then the subject becomes difficult and less interesting to students. This lack of interest in the subject will cause low self esteem and lack of confidence within the student leading to poor performance.
How can tutoring help a student to excel in MYP science
Dr Anil Khare: Amourion tutoring plays an important role for students to excel in MYP science & this is done through breaking down complex topics into simple clear ones, using a step-by-step method of explaining especially on experiments & investigations. Through Amourion students are assisted on their internal projects and how to tackle unfamiliar exam questions. This approach allows students to develop critical thinking & problem-solving skills earlier.
Who benefits most from IB MYP science tutoring?
Dr Anil Khare: IB MYP tutoring at Amourion is beneficial to students who are moving from IGCSE or would want to continue with the IB Diploma at a higher level. It is also an advantage to students who will be facing challenges with understanding basic concepts & calculations as a result the tutoring will make the students exam ready and boost their confidence levels.
What are the characteristics of a good MYP science tutor?
Dr Anil Khare: Guardians for learners should look for tutors who possess knowledge & expertise in MYP science & are also well versed with the demands of the syllabus. The ability to provide tailor made teaching approaches & consistent monitoring is also of paramount importance in ensuring student success in MYP science.
