Implementation of a primary science curriculum designed in accordance with a social constructivist appoarch for Vietnamese Confucian heritage culture

Abstract

Abstract This paper describes the implementation of a social constructivism-based primary science curriculum, which was designed culturally appropriate with Vietnamese Confucian heritage culture. It focuses on analysing a specific science lesson best functioning in classroom practice. Both achievements and shortcomings of the designed science curriculum were uncovered and provided an adequate evaluation to the designed curriculum. This creates a basis for appropriate adjustment and improvement to the curriculum design for a further better application in primary science education in Vietnamese Confucian heritage culture.
