Option 3 : Process

Good science education is one that is true to the child, true to life, and true to science. 

  • Process validity- It requires that the curriculum engage the learner in acquiring the methods and processes that lead to the generation and validation of scientific knowledge, and nurture the natural curiosity and creativity of the child.
    • It is an important criterion since it helps in learning to learn science.

Hence, we conclude that the process validity of a science curriculum requires involving the learners in acquiring the methods by which scientific knowledge is generated and validated.

Cognitive validity It requires that the content, process, language, and pedagogical practices of the curriculum should be age-appropriate and within the cognitive reach of the child. 
Content validity It requires that the curriculum must convey significant and scientifically correct content. 
Historical validity It requires that the science curriculum be informed by a historical perspective, enabling the learner to appreciate how concepts of science evolved with time.
